Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a federal law prohibiting employment discrimination, established federal guidelines that prohibit sexual harassment and other workplace misconduct.
Under this Act, sexual harassment includes any unwelcome sexual behavior that creates a hostile, intimidating, or offensive work environment—or that is used as a condition of employment or advancement.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) defines two primary forms of sexual harassment:
This occurs when a supervisor, manager, or person in authority demands sexual favors in exchange for a job benefit, such as a raise, promotion, or continued employment.
Examples can include requesting sexual favors, making sexual advances, offensive comments, as well as other forms of sexual harassment and unwelcome sexual attention in the workplace.
This occurs when unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature becomes so severe or pervasive that it alters the conditions of employment.
The law protects all genders, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
Harassment does not have to come from a boss—it can involve co-workers, clients, vendors, or even customers. If your employer fails to address the behavior after being notified, they may be legally liable.
Workplace harassment is never okay.

Sexual harassment is prohibited under both federal and state employment laws.
This federal law bans employment discrimination on the basis of sex, which includes sexual harassment.
Key provisions:
This law applies to employers with 15 or more employees.
Arizona law mirrors federal protections and often offers broader remedies. It applies to employers with 15 or more employees and includes additional anti-discrimination provisions for state employees.
Under ACRA, employees can file complaints with the Arizona Civil Rights Division (ACRD), which works in coordination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
Victims can seek damages, reinstatement, lost wages, emotional distress compensation, and changes in workplace policy.
In some cases, city laws may provide additional protection. Phoenix, for example, has a Human Relations Ordinance that prohibits sexual harassment in employment settings.
If you are being sexually harassed at work, taking the right steps can protect both your legal rights and your mental health.
This documentation is crucial if your case is later investigated by the EEOC or becomes the subject of litigation.
Many employers have formal harassment reporting procedures. Review your company’s policies to understand how to file a complaint internally. If those policies are ignored or inadequate, you may still have a valid legal claim.
Notify your supervisor, HR department, or designated point of contact. This step may be necessary to establish employer liability under the law.
If the person harassing you is your supervisor, report to someone higher or to HR directly. Use email or written reports when possible to create a record.
Do not quit without legal advice unless your situation is unsafe. In many cases, quitting can complicate your right to recover damages.
