How Does Nevada Define Sexual Harassment?
In Nevada, sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates both state and federal law. It generally encompasses unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.
Examples of sexual harassment can include:
- Verbal harassment: Making offensive remarks about someone’s sex, gender, or sexual orientation; telling lewd jokes; or using sexual innuendo.
- Physical harassment: Unwanted touching, groping, or sexual assault.
- Visual harassment: Displaying sexually suggestive pictures, posters, or objects; sending sexually explicit emails or text messages.
- Quid pro quo harassment: When employment decisions, such as hiring, firing, or promotions, are based on an employee’s submission to or rejection of unwelcome sexual advances.
It’s important to remember that even a single incident can constitute sexual harassment.
