What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
What constitutes a hostile work environment and what can one do about it? If people are harrassing someone, saying that person is causing sales loss when they are not, bullying them whenever possible undermining them every step of the way and that person asks for this to stop and it does not, is there nothing that person can do?
Is it illegal if the other employees make that person do their work because of a perceived weakness and that person really has a disability, yet the others do not know about this? For example if that person is taking on more work than others because of a percieved weakness is that alone illegal, or does this person have to have a disorder? And if they do is this alone illegal?
I guess this can get kind of tricky.. There is no set in stone law for this kind of discrimination?
What if this behavior from others causes a hostile work environment? Would assault have to be present? If someone makes you feel threatened walking by you and they are looking at you angry, that is not assault is it? Wow sounds really tricky and somewhat underdeveloped. But so goes it.
What is it that makes the difference in someone creating a hostile work environment or not? What actions or speech need to be present and to what degree? Is it illegal to fire someone for creating a hostile environment when none of these actions or speech are present? Does that person then need to fit the criteria outlined in the civil rights laws or is it illegal to fire them like that without fitting that criteria?
