What Constitutes Workplace Harassment Legally

Workplace harassment is any unwanted conduct based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), nationality, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information that is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive. Legal boundaries are defined by laws like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and others, prohibiting discrimination and setting the grounds for what counts as harassment.
