Sexual Harassment Lawyers
Sexual harassment is a specific type of sex discrimination prohibited under employment law. Sexual harassment occurs when physical or verbal harassment of a sexual nature occurs in the workplace. Many people associate sexual harassment with male perpetrators and female victims, but sexual harassment happens to all genders and is perpetrated by all genders.
Our Simple Process
: File Preparation
Require employers to provide all employee-related personnel and payroll records
: Investigation Stage
After receiving all employment records from the employer, the attorney will review all relevant documents pertaining to the employee to determine whether the employer has been in violation of labour laws.
: Issue Claim
If the employer does violate labor laws, we will prepare and send the claims to the employer or their attorney
: Settlement and Proceedings
You may receive a settlement offer during your claims process, which you can accept or reject. If both parties cannot reconcile, the employee may pursue their claims through the Department of Labor or through legal proceedings.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment can be committed by a supervisor, a peer, or a subordinate. Anyone can be a victim. Acts of sexual harassment include: Unwanted sexual advances Unwanted physical touching Requests for sexual favors Promising employment or promotion in exchange for sexual favors Threatening termination or demotion in the absence of sexual favors Sexual assault Sexually explicit verbal harassment Solicitation of explicit pictures Inappropriate workplace jokes or conversations Indecent exposure It is important to note that some lesser, isolated incidents may not be considered sexual harassment and some incidents may be considered more actionable than others. However, repeated actions of sexual harassment can create a hostile work environment. Document every incident in which you think you are being sexually harassed and report it to your supervisor or human resources department. If the harassment does not stop, you may have a legal case.
