In United States labor law, a hostile work environment exists when an employee experiences workplace harassment based on a legally-protected class as defined by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). According to the EEOC, protected classes are age (over 40), disability (including pregnancy), genetic information, national origin, race/color, religion, gender, or sex.[1] Furthermore, the acts done must be "severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.[2]
