Hostile Work Environment
As an employee or a student, you have a right to work
or study in an environment that is free of discrimination, intimidation, insult
and ridicule. You may be able to file a hostile work environment claim in court
if the harassment you experienced unreasonably interfered with your work
performance or created an offensive or intimidating work environment. In order
to have a claim for hostile work environment, generally, you must be able to
prove that there was more than a single incident of harassment. However, an
extremely severe single incident of harassment (such as a sexual assault or
rape) may be enough for a lawsuit. Unless the conduct is quite severe, a single
incident or isolated incidents of offensive sexual conduct or remarks generally
will be inadequate to prove the existence of a "hostile environment."
