A hostile work environment is illegal if it's based out of protected characteristics such as race, sex, religion, national origin, or sexual orientation, or another type of protected characteristic. Examples of this would be if somebody uses a racial epithet or a racial slur at work, if somebody touches you in an intimate or sexualized or provocative manner, that's an example of a hostile work environment. For religion, if somebody says something disparaging about your religion, that's a hostile work environment. Or if somebody says a derogatory remark about your sexual orientation. At Phillips & Associates, we handle cases dealing with hostile work environments of all kinds every day. So if you believe that you've been the victim of a hostile work environment, contact Phillips & Associates today.
