Sexual harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that affects an individual's employment. It can occur between individuals of the same or opposite sex and the harasser can be a supervisor, coworker, or non-employee. Restpadd PHF prohibits all forms of harassment and any employee found engaging in harassment may be terminated. Victims or witnesses are encouraged to report harassment to a supervisor without fear of reprisal.
