Sexual harassment is not only prohibited at work but it also applies outside of work. Illegal sexual harassment can occur outside of work or at social events. Sexual harassment is also prohibited via written, oral, electronic, and all other forms of communication, including social networking. Further, nonemployees, such as customers, clients, patients, contractors, vendors, and suppliers may be liable for sexual harassment. Also, employers could be held liable for sexual harassment if it is done by a third party, i.e., vendors, clients, against their employees if they are placed on notice and if they fail to stop it.
