current plan documents will control.

contact the Human Resource Department. This handbook is applicable to all the

2.9.6.4. Interference with her work or creating an intimidating
or offensive or hostile work environment for her; or
2.9.6.5. Humiliating treatment likely to affect her health or
safety.

EXPLANATION: Sexual harassment in the workplace is generally of two distinct types.


A. Quid Pro Quo (Conditional) Sexual Harassment:
“Quid pro quo” sexual harassment means seeking sexual favors or advances in
exchange for preferential treatment. This kind of sexual harassment occurs when
consent to sexually explicit behavior or speech is made a condition for
employment or preferential treatment in employment. This kind of sexual
harassment also occurs when refusal to comply with a “request of sexual favour” is
met with retaliatory action such as dismissal, demotion, difficult working
conditions etc.

B. Hostile working environment sexual harassment:


C. Hostile working environment sexual harassment occurs
where employees in a workplace are subject to a pattern
of exposure to unwanted and unwelcome sexual
behavior from the management or co-workers. This
kind of behavior makes the work environment of a
woman employee hostile. This is for the reason that such
conduct creates an intimidating, offensive, oppressive,
abusive or humiliating work environment and which is
severe and pervasive enough to interfere with her ability
to work and perform.

D. Unwelcome is the key in defining what conduct


constitutes sexual harassment. The conduct in question
must have been unwelcome. In other words, the
complaining woman employee must have found the
behavior in question offensive, repulsive or repugnant.
It is the impact and effect the behavior or conduct has
on the recipient that will define the behavior as sexual
harassment.

Annexure ‘A’ of this Policy provides a partial list of examples of behavior which may be
found to constitute sexual harassment in the workplace.
