The law that covers sexual harassment in the workplace is the:

• A. Fair Labor Standards Act
• B. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
• C. Americans with Disabilities Act
• D. Affirmative Action Law of 1960

Answer: (B)

Workplace sexual harassment is addressed by a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex in employment. That law makes it illegal to harass someone or to treat them unfavorably because of sex, including creating a hostile environment or demanding sexual favors in exchange for job benefits. This makes it the most relevant option for covering sexual harassment in the workplace. The other laws cover different topics: the Fair Labor Standards Act sets standards for wages and overtime; the Americans with Disabilities Act protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination; and the Affirmative Action laws focus on promoting equal opportunity in hiring and advancement but do not specifically define or prohibit workplace harassment.
