HRCI Exam SPHR Topic 5 Question 49 Discussion
Topic #: 5
''When the workplace is permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule and insult that is sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of the victim's employment and create an abusive working environment, Title VII is violated.'' This is a statement made with regard to which of the following sexual-harassment court cases?
Answer option A is correct.
Harris v. Forklift Systems Inc. was referenced in the case of same-sex harassment brought to the Supreme Court in Oncale v. Sundowner (D). Oncalehelped determine that gender is of little consequence when harassment meets the statutory requirements defined in Harris. Faragher v. City of Boca Raton (B) and Burlington Industries v. Ellerth (C) were also important cases aiding in interpreting the concept of sexual harassment in the workplace.
