What is the Legal Definition of a Hostile Work Environment in Pennsylvania?
![]() |
Protect Only Employees Subjected to ILLEGAL Hostile Work Environments |
I am Being Bullied at Work - is that an Illegal Hostile Work Environment?
Unfortunately, there is no legal protection if you are fired because of a personality conflict, or because management simply prefers a co-employee more than you, or because your boss does not like your shoes. These things may be unfair, they may be morally and ethically repugnant, but they are not illegal.
![]() |
NOT Illegal Under State or Federal Laws |
NOTE: See Horrible Bosses: Boss Tells Woman to Forget About Daughter at Work "Because She's Dead." Does such a callous statement give rise to a hostile work environment claim?
Common examples of a hostile work environment would be where the employer permits the pervasive use of language or non-verbal expression that is hostile to persons of certain protected classifications. Such conduct often forms the basis for a claim of Sexual Harassment or Title VII Discrimination.

i work in a nursing home in punxsutawney,pa
ththey sent a letter out to all their c.n.a.s
it states that if you are off and they try to call you but if you do not answer that call that is wrote up as a refusal to work.
i do not set my phone 24/7.
also that you can only refuse overtime in a pay period once.
after taht you arw wrote up
the pay period is only 14days .
so they are saying they can force you to work overtime hour 9 in 14 days.
is this legal or harrasment?
My sister is out of work on disability. Her employer will no longer accept the reason for disability from her doctor. Her doctor will not write anything different than he has previously. Her original doctor has also sent her to a surgeon and says that the surgeon must fill out her disability paperwork the surgeon will not fill out any paperwork until after he does surgery on 4/3/09. Also, her original doctor will not release her back to work either. Although her employer did advise her that if he did it would be like saying that the time she was out was a fraud. In the meantime, she is no longer able to receive her disability payments and now fears her employer will terminate her as she waits to have the surgery? What can and should she do?
I work at an autism school. I feel that I am no longer safe working in the school. I have been attacked by students and the result of the attacks were black eye, concussion. I have also received a scratch cornea and bruised bone. I have been chocked as well as threatened to be stabbed by students. If I were to quit could I receive unemployment for unsafe work environment?
