Harassment is governed by state laws, which vary by state, but is generally defined as a course of conduct which annoys, threatens, intimidates, alarms, or puts a person in fear of their safety.
In order for behaviour to meet the standards of harassment, it must:
- Involve discrimination against a protected class of people
- Involve offensive conduct
- Include unwelcome behaviour
- Involve some level of severity or pervasiveness that affects your ability to work.
