types of verbal harassment
A common form of sexual harassment is verbal. You'll notice that the verbal conduct involves unwelcome conduct that is repetitive and excessive. An isolated verbal incident may not rise to the level of workplace sexual harassment. On the other hand, if a single incident is egregious enough, such as demanding sex to keep a job, one incident is enough for sexual harassment.
It is unlawful to harass a person (an applicant or employee) because of that persons sex. Harassment can include sexual harassment or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature. Harassment does not have to be of a sexual nature, however, and can include offensive remarks about a persons sex. For example, it is illegal to harass a woman by making offensive comments about women in general.
