The types of sexual harassment that are most common when done by an employer are sexual advances, the exchange of workplace favoritism for sexual favors, and the creation of a hostile work environment that is overly sexual.

How does Oregon Law Prohibit Sexual Harassment?

First, employers in Gresham are often required to establish company policies regarding sexual conduct, which must be posted and visible to employees.
