What is Sexual Harassment?
Sexual harassment is unwanted, inappropriate behavior of a sexual nature in the workplace. Examples include unwanted sexual advances by a supervisor or co-worker, vulgar comments, and inappropriate e-mails that lead to a hostile workplace environment. Sexual harassment may include offers of job benefits (such as a promotion or keeping your job) in exchange for sex.
How Do I Stop the Harassment?
While sexual harassment is not your fault, you have the burden of proof to show that it happened. Examples of evidence may include phone messages, writings, e-mails and witnesses.
While sexual harassment is illegal, your employer may have defenses if they did not know of the harassment. Therefore, it's important for you to report the harassment to your human resources department so that your employer has an opportunity to address the harassment. If you have not already done so, our lawyers can help you report the behavior and document your case.
