Sexual Harassment and Discrimination

State and federal law prohibits discrimination in employment based on sex. This includes discrimination in pay, promotions, other advancement, training, adverse employment action, and other important areas 

There are two major categories of sexual harassment claims: (1) quid pro quo, and (2) hostile work environemnt.  To sustain a claim for sexual harassment, the harasser's conduct must be severe or pervasive.  A single incident of sexual harassment may be sufficient to constitute a quid pro quo or hostile work environment sexual harassment, but the plaintff would have to prove that the single incidend was so severe that it created a hostile work environment.
