The law dictates that employees are entitled to a work environment free of sexual harassment.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Depends on policy

Answer: (A)

Employees have a legal right to a workplace free from sexual harassment. Under anti-discrimination law (such as Title VII in the U.S.), sexual harassment is prohibited because it involves discrimination based on sex and can create a hostile work environment or condition employment on submitting to unwelcome advances. This means employers must actively prevent harassment, respond promptly to complaints, and take corrective action when incidents occur. The entitlement exists because the law protects employees, not because a specific company policy alone states it, though clear policies and training help enforce the law and show proper compliance. For example, if harassment occurs, the employer can be liable if they fail to investigate and remedy the situation.
