  • Submission to or rejection of this type of conduct is used as a basis for employment decisions affecting the victim;
  • Submission to such conduct is implicitly or explicitly made a condition of the victim’s employment; or
  • The conduct has the effect or purpose of unreasonably interfering with the victim’s work performance or creating a hostile, intimidating, or offensive work environment.
