Clinical Information for Problems related to employment and unemployment (Z56)

Unemployment - The state of not being engaged in a gainful occupation.

Absenteeism - Chronic absence from work or other duty.

Sexual Harassment - A form of discrimination in the workplace which violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Offensive sexual conduct may include unwelcome advances, comments, touching, questions about marital status and sex practices, etc. Both men and women may be aggressors or victims. (Slee and Slee, Health Care Terms, 2d ed, p.404). While civil rights legislation deals with sexual harassment in the workplace, the behavior is not restricted to this; it may take place outside the work environment: in schools, athletics, and other social milieus and activities.
