Swearing in the Workplace: Swearing as Harm to Another

 

Review how swearing interacts with laws of harassment.

The use of vulgar and profane language in the workplace may invite claims of unlawful sexual harassment under federal and state law. In particular, courts have consistently held that the repeated use of gender-based epithets in reference to women will establish a prima facie case of hostile environment sexual harassment. This white paper reviews swearing as an assault or other tort claim and discusses swearing as workplace violence.
