A hostile work environment is a workplace where an employee is subjected to discriminatory or harassing behavior that makes it difficult or impossible for them to perform their job duties. Such hostile behavior can come from a supervisor, co-worker, client, or even a customer. It often involves actions or comments that are based on the individual’s protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.
Some common examples of hostile work environments include:
If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe in your workplace due to these or any other actions, it’s important to seek legal assistance as soon as possible.
Federal laws exist to protect employees from discrimination and harassment in the workplace based on various protected characteristics. These include Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) also protects individuals over 40 years old from age discrimination.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life including employment. The Equal Pay Act (EPA) ensures that men and women receive equal pay for equal work performed under similar conditions.
In addition to federal laws, Pennsylvania also has its own set of protections against workplace hostility. The Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA) prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, age over 40, disability, and other protected characteristics.
Pennsylvania also recognizes a cause of action for intentional infliction of emotional distress in the workplace. This means that if an employer engages in outrageous conduct or intentionally causes severe emotional distress to an employee, they can be held liable.
Under certain circumstances, employees may have a claim for constructive discharge in which they are forced to resign due to intolerable working conditions created by their employer.
Harassment in the workplace comes in many forms and can be perpetrated by anyone in a position of power or authority over an employee. It can include verbal, physical, or visual acts that create an uncomfortable or hostile environment for the victim.
Some common types of harassment include:
If you are experiencing any form of harassment in your workplace, it’s important to document the incidents and seek legal advice on how to address the situation.
