Workplace Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment, unfortunately, affects many employees in the workplace. The California Civil Rights and Fair Employment and Housing Acts both prohibit this sort of activity. If you have experienced workplace sexual harassment in any form, you have a right to seek compensation.

Why Do You Need a Lawyer?

Standing up against sexual harassment in the workplace can be a stressful experience, especially when a supervisor is the one responsible for the harassment. A good sexual harassment attorney will not only fight for your rights but will also provide you with the emotional support you need during such a trying time. Rather than making you stand up to a company or organization alone, your lawyer will have the resources and knowledge to successfully handle your case and work to protect your rights.

Examples of Sexual Harassment

Many times, sexual harassment occurs because people don’t understand that their actions count as harassment. While actions such as unwanted sexual touching and attempts by a superior to engage in sexual behaviors with an employee using a threat or for the promise of employee benefits are easily recognizable, many other types are not as clear. Aside from physical contact, unwanted sexual comments and jokes constitute harassment, whether they come from a superior or a fellow coworker. Repeated attempts to make unwanted sexual or romantic advances on another employee are also harassing behaviors. Harassment can even happen when it’s not direct, but instead creates a hostile environment for employees.

Filing a Sexual Harassment Claim

If you experience workplace sexual harassment, you should first follow any policies in your employer’s sexual harassment policy. While this may be difficult to do if your harasser is your direct superior, you should attempt to report the activity if possible. Afterward, you can work to file a complaint with the appropriate organization, such as the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing or the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. This will open your complaint for evaluation and formal investigation.
