Harassment at work is covered by the Equality Act. Some people mistakenly refer to the Harassment Act; but it’s the Equality Act that deals with harassment at work or harassment in the workplace. Harassment takes place where an employee is, because of a relevant protected characteristic, subjected to a hostile, degrading or offensive environment at work. The protected characteristics in question include (amongst others): belief sex sexual orientation disability age.
The legal definition of sexual harassment is where the harassment at work amounts to unwanted conduct related to something of a sexual nature. This could include unwelcome sexual advances.
There is no legal definition of bullying. However, often bullying or harassment are coupled together for the purposes of showing unwanted behaviour at work. Therefore, whilst the law doesn’t allow for a specific standalone claim for bullying, often bullying at work forms part of a harassment claim.
