(check all that apply) Tolerate it if the harasser is a manager Check to see if others are subjected to this harasser's action, if this is the first occurrence to you Report the incident to a supervisor or instructor or administrator. Communicate to the harasser that the action is not welcome

Respuesta :

Answer: the employee should do all of the above EXCEPT tolerate it if the harasser is a manager.

Explanation: sexual harrassment is a type of harassment behaviour characterized by the making of unwelcome and/or inappropriate remarks or physical advances in a workplace with implicit or explicit sexual overtones. This is a form of illegal employment discrimination.

Title VII is a federal law which prohibits any form of discrimination in the workplace and while this is the basis of all sexual harrassment claims, many states have sexual harrassment laws which are even stricter. The employer or manager has to take seriously all claims of sexual harrassment and are not exempt if the complaints are against them.

As well as all options except the first, the claimant should document as much as possible all things pertaining to the harassment such as where, when and how.
