Test Yourself: Can you recognize workplace discrimination and harassment?: Answers

Test Yourself solution

  1. False. Intent doesn’t matter. What counts is how people on the receiving end of comments or jokes feel about the action.
  2. True. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 generally prohibits employers with 20 or more employees from discrimination in employment on the basis of age. Individuals aged 40 and over are protected by the ADEA.
  3. False. Such factors often contribute to a hostile work environment.
  4. False. A client, customer, or vendor can also commit harassment against an employer’s employees.
  5. False. Employment actions that could be ruled discriminatory include: denial of employment or promotion, reassignment with significantly different responsibilities, and demotion.
  6. True. Occasional teasing generally will not result in a finding of unlawful harassment. But that doesn’t mean you should condone it.
  7. False. With more serious acts, particularly involving a physical assault, one incident can be enough for it to be considered illegal.
