Arizona Civil Rights Act & Harassment laws:

Since 1992, Arizona employees have been protected from sexual harassment by the Arizona Civil Rights Act (AZ Rev. Stat. Sec. 41-1463 et seq.). The act applies to any workplace with one or more employees. It is applied equally from small businesses in Sedona to large corporations in Phoenix.

Arizona defines harassment as “conduct that is directed at a specific person and that would cause a reasonable person to be seriously alarmed, annoyed or harassed” (ARS 13-2921). Behavior is not considered harassment if a victim doesn’t feel alarmed, annoyed, or harassed—regardless of intent. Depending on the situation, harassment may be considered a class 1 misdemeanor or a class 5 felony. This poster, published by the Arizona government, summarizes your rights.

Federal Support:

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission add federal protection against sexual harassment. The commission defines harassment similarly to the Arizona Civil Rights Act, and explains that gender-related remarks may be considered harassment, that anyone can be a victim or a harasser, and that harassment may apply in same-gender offenses. Both Arizona and the federal protections state that retaliation for a complaint of sexual harassment is against the law.

What to Do If You Have Been Harassed:

If you have experienced sexual harassment and your workplace has one to 14 employees, you must file a complaint with the Arizona Civil Rights Division. You have 300 days to file a complaint, starting the day of the incident.

If you have been harassed at a workplace with 15 or more employees, you must file a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. You have only 180 days to file, starting the day of the incident.

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
