Sexual assault laws are designed to protect employees from unwanted conduct of a sexual nature that is severe or pervasive, and affects working conditions or creates a hostile work environment. The conduct must be either severe, or pervasive (i.e. several minor incidents may be considered sexual assault.) "Hostile environment" means that the sexual assault is severe and pervasive enough to create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment for the employee.

Laws against sexual assault prohibit conduct such as discrimination or unfair treatment based on gender, sexual relationships or sexual behavior. Employers are legally obligated to take reasonable care to prevent sexual assault from occurring, and to take reasonable care to stop sexual assault once they become aware that it is happening. An employer is automatically liable for any assault by a supervisor, whether or not the employer actually knew about the assault. If the sexual assault is carried out by employees, the employer is liable only if it did not take reasonable steps to prevent the sexual assault after becoming aware of it.
