Sexual Harassment
Please contact us if you have been the victim of sexual harassment in the workplace. If you have been the victim of sexual harassment, it is a good idea to contact an experienced attorney while potential witnesses still have a clear memory of the incident.
Normally these cases involve working conditions that make it difficult for an employee to get her duties done because of one of the following:
- Suggestive and/or unpleasant remarks about one's appearance, clothing, or body
- The open display of grossly sexist or even pornographic photographs or drawings
- Inappropriate touching
- Rumors or accusations concerning one's sex life or sexual orientation
- The circulation of sexually explicit or obscene pictures, jokes, or other materials through e-mail
- Company functions or client entertainment at strip clubs over an employee's objections.
Most companies have written policies against sexual harassment, and can be liable for failing to follow their own complaint investigation policies. Companies can also be liable for making exceptions in favor of high performing managers or perpetrators.
While most sexual harassment clients are women, men can also be victimized by workplace sexual harassment. Further, we accept cases of same-sex harassment involving gays or lesbians, or harassment on the basis of a worker's real or perceived sexual orientation.
