Sexual Harassment

What is considered sexual harassment

An employer owes their employees a workplace that is free from sexual harassment. No one is required to tolerate unwanted sexual advances while they are performing their job duties. Falling victim to touching, uncomfortable or aggressive flirtation, jokes, texts, emails and phone calls that serve no legitimate business purpose are all considered forms of sexual harassment.

Moreover, being subjected to unreasonable questions and comments regarding anything of a sexual nature is not part of any job description and is not something that an employee has to silently accept. Your employer has a legal duty to provide you with a workplace environment that is free from sexual harassment in any form. From the minor to the extreme, no level of tolerance is required.

YOUR CASE MAY HAVE EXPIRING DEADLINES

Representing a waitress who was physically abused by her coworker and subsequently quit after she made numerous reports to her employer concerning her coworker’s unwelcome conduct and management continued to condone his conduct.

Areas of Expertise

Disability Discrimination

At times, employees have tremendous challenges to overcome in order to perform their work. This could be a physical handicap (such as a disease, syndrome, or medical condition) or it can be a mental health issue/illness, such as depression or anxiety

Discrimination and Retaliation

Your employer has absolutely no right to ever discriminate against you based upon who you are. At the core of human decency is the expectation that your actual or perceived race, sex, national origin, religion, sexual preference/orientation, or any other characteristic will never cause you to be treated differently.

Wage Litigation

As an employee you have a right to be paid for all the work you perform for your employer. Often employers cut corners and don’t appropriately pay employees for “pre-shift” work or “traveling from the office to the job site.” Employers often don’t pay for “lunch breaks” but then ask the employee to work through a portion, or all, of their lunch.
