Our interactive training seminars will assure you that all of your employees know and understand the standards concerning violations of sexual harassment in the workplace.

What are the Two Types of Harassment in Alabama?
Alabama’s harassment statute is set forth in Code of Alabama §13A-11-8, which defines conduct that is considered harassment as well as conduct that constitutes the crime of harassing communications. Both harassment and harassing communications are considered class C misdemeanors.
This means that under Ala. Code §13A-5-7, those found guilty of either offense may be sentenced to a term of up to three months in a county jail or three months of hard labor. Class C misdemeanors are also punishable by a fine of up to $500 or twice the amount of loss suffered—or gain achieved—by the crime, according to Ala. Code §13A-5-12(a).
How the Crime of Harassment is Defined
It is important to note that the legal definition of the crime of harassment starts by describing the intent of the person taking action. That individual must be acting with the intent to harass, annoy, or alarm someone else. So, if action is taken accidentally, in jest, or without the awareness of another person, it could be argued that the conduct should be not considered harassment.
If the requisite intent is present, criminal harassment often involves subjecting another to physical contact such as striking, shoving, kicking or other forms touching. Other conduct that can constitute harassment includes making obscene or abusive gestures or comments toward another person.
The law in Alabama specifies that any threat, whether made orally or by a gesture, can be considered harassment if it would cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety, and if the harassing person made the threat with the intent to carry it out. An Alabama harassment lawyer’s job is to ensure that the defendant is properly represented and given the correct information about their case.
The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) defines sexual harassment as follows:
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when such conduct:
- explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment
- unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance
- creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment
