Sexual Harassment occurs any time there is any kind of unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and can be verbal or physical in nature. Sexual Harassment does not always have to be sexually suggestive in nature, but also general offensive comments about a person’s sex is construed as sexual harassment.
Reporting Requirement
In order for a company or employer to be held liable, there must be some sort of report. The best report is done in writing to Human Resources and explicitly outlines that there has been sexual harassment, what type of sexual harassment, and names the harasser. Then it becomes the providence of the employer to do a proper investigation into the matter.
Timing of Filing Charges
If you are a victim of sexual harassment you have 300 days from the date of alleged harm to file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against an employer with 15 or more employees for sexual harassment in the state of Nevada.
