Summarize the following:
Workplace harassment is unwelcome conduct based on a protected condition. Harassment only becomes unlawful if it becomes a condition of employment or advancement or is so severe and pervasive that a reasonable person would consider it intimidating, hostile, or abusive. For workplace harassment to be unlawful, it must be based on one of the protected classes of people. If you are harassed for any other reason, your only recourse is to quit your job or convince your employer to put a stop to the behavior. Just because you belong to one of the protected classes does not protect you from all harassment, only harassment based on your membership in that protected class. For instance, you have no recourse against an employer who harassed you because of your weight even if you belong to a protected class. Those classes are: Race Color Religion Sex or pregnancy status National origin Advanced age (over 40) Disability Genetic information Any other classes protected by an individual state If the employee being harassed must endure the harassment or risk being fired or not promoted, the harassment is unlawful. Retaliation for attempting to put an end to unlawful workplace harassment is also unlawful. Some examples of retaliation include: Firing the reporter upon learning of the report and no being able to support an alternative reason for the firing Refusing to promote the reporter upon learning of the report and no being able to support the reason for not granting that promotion Demoting the reporter upon learning of the report without being able to justify the demotion Most workplace harassment suits fail because the harassment is not considered severe enough. The conduct must make the work environment intimidating, hostile, or offensive to a reasonable person. A reasonable person is considered to be able to handle petty slights, most isolated incidents. Courts consider a variety of factors when deciding the severity of the conduct. These include: The frequency of the harassment The severity of the conduct Whether it was physically threatening or merely offensive statements Whether the conduct unreasonably interfered with work performance The effect on the employee's psychological well-being Whether the harasser was supervisory or greater over the individual being harassed. There are many different forms that harassment can take. It would be virtually impossible to list them all in one article. Common types of workplace harassment include: Discussing sexual activities Unwanted and unnecessary touching Sexual assault Commenting on physical attributes Displaying sexually suggestive or racially insensitive pictures Using demeaning or inappropriate terms Using crude language Sabotaging the victim's work

summary: Know the definition of workplace harassment. Recognize the protected classes of people. Determine any conditions of employment. Decide if the conduct is severe. Recognize common practices.

To figure out how much a paint job will cost, or how much you plan to charge, you need to know the square footage of the wall and/or ceiling you're painting. You can find this somewhere in the paperwork you signed when buying or renting your home. If you're painting for someone else, ask them for the information. However, if you don't have that information on hand, use a ruler or tape measure to measure the length and width of the home/room. You can enter this into an online calculator to determine the square footage. Not every inch of a home or room will be painted, so subtract as necessary. Doors, windowsills, and trim will all need to be painted, but windows will not be painted, so measure these areas and subtract their measurements from the total square footage. As a general estimate, you can subtract about 20 square feet per door and 15 square feet per window. Say a 700 square foot room has one door and two windows. You would subtract 20 for the door, and 30 for the window, resulting in a square footage of 650. A gallon of paint covers 250 square feet. So, a room that's 650 square feet would need roughly two gallons of paint because 650 divided by 250 comes out to about 2.6. However, you always need two coats, so expect to buy around six gallons of paint for a room of this size. Once you've determined how much paint you need, figure out how much your paint will cost. Paint costs vary depending on factors like color and quality. Paint is generally $20 to $40 per gallon, with higher quality paint costing more. Say you want two coats of a decent quality paint for a 650 square foot room, which requires six gallons of paint. If you plan to buy paint at $30 a gallon, expect to pay around $180 for paint. What supplies do you have and what supplies do you need to buy? You will likely need masking plastic, masking paper, paint tape, caulking, tarps, brushes or rollers, and a gallon of primer. Find the average cost of these supplies by visiting local suppliers and adding up the total. For example, say the masking plastic costs $25, the masking paper costs $15, the tape costs $10, the caulking costs $15, and the primer costs $20. This means cost of supplies is around $115.
summary: Measure the home or room. Subtract areas that won't be painted. Determine how much paint you need. Figure out the cost of paint. Determine the cost of materials.
