Sexual Harassment
Assisting You In The Face Of Sexual Harassment
While some people may think of sexual harassment in the workplace as something from a previous generation, the unfortunate reality is that sexual harassment is still a pervasive part of too many people’s experiences. Sexual harassment in the workplace can destroy a person’s ability to function effectively and succeed.
There are two types of recognized sexual harassment:
- Quid pro quo — When sexual favors are requested in exchange for a promotion or simply being able to keep one’s job.
- Hostile work environment — When an employer fails to prevent or fosters a sexually hostile work environment, that employer may be held liable. This environment can be created through jokes, comments and other actions taken by supervisors and co-workers.
Preserving evidence of sexual harassment is critical to the success of a claim. If you have been sexually harassed, do your best to preserve all relevant:
- Emails
- Texts
- Handwritten notes
- Photos sent via text or email
No one should have to endure sexual harassment in the workplace. Choosing a seasoned attorney with a reputation for effectively representing sexual harassment claims can help push your employer to take your claim seriously.
