The code gives what you can do or cant do. How simple comments and attitudes can be looked down upon. How you can make your work place a better place to be. And will be the ultimate safety for the innocent girl

Pros - can smooth over a lot of inter-employee issues. Can act as facilitator between employer and employee in sensitive discussions.\n\nCons - Can induce fear that "someone is trying to manipulate me".

technically yes, it could be considered sexual harassment. Any sexual attention that could be undesired or out of place can be considered sexual harassment. In all honestly a LOT of things that go on in a work or even school enviroment would be harassemnt. It just depends on the people and what boundraies they have when it comes to that stuff. But legally yes.

Tell them "I'm offended by that." Could fall under the sexual harrassment category (but it doesn't have to be sexual). \nOnce they've been notified, you are free to escalate. Supervisor can't ignore it if you have told them. This can lead to civil rights and right-to-work issues. HTH!

An employee doesn't have to have a reason. Among the more "legitimate" reasons are that they have been sexually harassed, they need the time for family or study, retirement, career advancement, etc, etc. The not so noble ones include faking any of the above, hating the boss, more money, too lazy to work.

The European Union has recently taken concrete steps to address sexual harassment in its Member States. In September 2002, the European Parliament and Council adopted Directive 2002/73/EC amending Council Directive 76/207/EEC on the implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women as regards access to employment, vocational training and promotion, and working conditions. \n\nCouncil Directive 76/207/EEC is the foundation of EU law and policy in the area of gender equality in employment. As amended in 2002, the Equal Treatment Directive states that "the principle of equal treatment means that there shall be no direct or indirect discrimination on the grounds of sex in the public or private sectors, including public bodies, in relation to" conditions for access to employment, vocational guidance and training, employment and working conditions, including dismissal and membership in organizations of workers or employers. In Commission v. United Kingdom, Case 165/82, [1983] ECR 3431, the European Court of Justice held that EU Member States could not exclude certain small businesses from application of the equal treatment principle as does the United States in its legislation prohibiting sex discrimination in employment, Title VII. Please see the section on domestic law and policy for more information on Title VII.\n\nGo to: http://www.stopvaw.org/1976_Equal_Treatment_Directive_and_2002_Sexual_Harassment_Amendment.html\nfor more info.\n\ncc

A private organization can do anything that it wants to do.  That's why the boyscouts can ban gays.\n\nAlso, what are the ADVANTAGES to interviews?\n1) ensures a child of a certain behavior\n2) probably ensures a certain type of family\n\nPersonally, I'd want my toddler to be around nice kids from good families.

Yes under sexual harassment.  Contact the US Department of Labor and file a complaint.  They then can act on it or allow you to hire a lawyer and have the lawyer act on it.  Under the law they must be given the chance to act before you can goto court.

Rules are a pain because they need enforcing and children expect that they will be enforced exactly the same way for each student.  What I found more helpful was to use the school's Code of Behaviour and to discuss and reinforce it regularly.  Then, any situation that arose could be dealt with from that perspective..\n\nIn one school where I worked, the Code of Behaviour had four points and, sorry, I can only remember three of them - (not necessarily in order):\n- always do your best work,\n- keep your hands and feet to yourself,\n- treat everyone with respect.\n\nThese seemed to cover any situation that arose.  For example, if a student wears t-shirts that have offensive slogans on them, the discussion will be around respect.

Unfortunately for you the company has a right and is following the law with such a policy. This usually only applies to individuals who are blood related or are married but since there is obviously a sexual relationship between the two of you, the company has to follow their sexual harrassment policy and not allow one partner to supervise the other.

Never ever quit your job because of sexual harassment. Especially by a midget! Pick the little creep up and throw it in the bin! And tell it to pick on someone its own size!

Hi Dolly,\n\nThere is a code of professional conduct set down by the Law Society. The solicitor must act in a professional manner at all times and work in the best interests of his client when taking instructions. \n\nIf he acts in any way inappropriately he could find himself before a disciplinary hearing of the Law Society and could be disqualified from practising law.\n\nIf you know that the allegations you are stating are true and you are a victim or know of victims and they are prepared to come forward and make a complaint then do so with urgency.\n\nThis type of behaviour with clients is unacceptable and must be stopped.\n\nI hope this helps.\n\nGood luck.

Touching your back/shoulders and stroking your neck? Making perverse comments? Sweetie, this is called sexual harrassment. As for why they act this way, basically, they're idiots. Don't write them off as just "goofy." There is no excuse for their behavior. One guy went on a date with you and then told everyone? Is he still in high school? They think it's fun to embarrass you. They way immature men like this think, it wouldn't surprise me if they have some sort of bet going as to who can get you to give up your choice to wait until marriage first. The first thing you need to do is not date any of them. That's just a good policy wherever you may work in your life. If it ends badly, you still have to see that person every day and it can cause a lot of problems. Second, when they say inappropriate things to you or touch you or make you feel uncomfortable in any way, you need to tell them they're behaving inappropriately and ask them to please stop. If they don't, or they just think that's part of the game, you need to go to your supervisor and ask him/her to intervene. Just know that if the boss does intervene, this may make for a hostile work environment because then you'll be the girl who "can't take a joke." Sad, but it happens. Conversely, the boss may think you're overreacting and not do anything. At this point, you'll have to make a decision: file a complaint with the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) and let them handle it, again possibly making for a hostile work environment; quit and find another job with mature, professional coworkers; do both. Unfortunately, there is no easy solution to this. If it were just one or two guys behaving this way, it might be easier because they'd be the minority. But if all the guys you work with do it, they'll be more apt to stick together and form a united front against you, saying that you're exaggerating or even making stuff up to get them into trouble. If there are any other women who work there, talk to them and see if they're having similar experiences. If so, it will corroborate your claims and give you more credence. I'm sorry to sound so cynical and/or pessimistic, but this is an all too common situation for many women in the workplace. We've all read and heard about things like this. There's even a movie based on a true story about the first lawsuit against a company for condoning sexual harassment called "North Country" with Charlize Theron. It's a disturbing, sad movie, but it shows what some women have had to go through just to earn a living. Finally, don't let yourself be intimidated. Stick to your values, know that you don't deserve to be treated this way and you don't have to put up with it. No one has the right to put their hands on you without your permission. Be strong and stick up for yourself, and someday, if you have children, you can pass that strength on to your daughter or teach your son to have the proper respect for women. I wish you the best of luck.

The stock answer is that the law in this matter should cut both ways. Rea;ity is that this is not always the case. Some will find it hard to believe that any man can be offended by the actions you describe, so be ready for some flack if you go through with filing a complaint. Realize that to make your position unassailable that you should first let your boss know that you find her actions totally inappropriate. If she persists drive on and do what you have to do.

Those rules change over time, as society does.  These days, it involves holding doors open for women, helping them on with their coats, and not talking about them in rude ways.\n\nMy personal opinion, I really like being treated that way, but I always treat my sweetie with similar respect and courtesy, and that makes it a great two-way street.
