Many employees have a basic understanding of what is and what is not considered sexual harassment at work, but may not know what to do if they have experienced harassment in the workplace. After experiencing sexual harassment in the workplace, it is crucial to talk with an attorney, who can help preserve evidence relating to the harassment and ensure that the employee preserves her rights. For example, the employee has only a limited period of time to preserve her rights by filing a claim with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing or the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Failing to report a claim early enough could bar an employee from recovering compensation later. Likewise, many people miss the opportunity to properly document their attempts to address the harassment with their employer. The best thing that can be done is to talk to a sexual harassment lawyer who can help build a record and preserve evidence of the harassment.

Sexual harassment is any form of unwanted sexual advances or behavior that places an employee in a position where they feel that they cannot do their job. It can be a tough thing to define because it can happen in so many different ways, some subtle and others more overt. Some supervisors may use pretexts or subtlety in their comments because they believe that by changing the words that their actions are not considered harassment. Here are a few examples:
Unfortunately, some people stop going to work as a way to address the harassment. This is understandable but gives the perpetrating employer an out because they can claim that the employee stopped going to work and thus had to be terminated. Instead of quitting after experiencing sexual harassment, call a lawyer, who can explain what other options may be available. Our firm has helped countless employees understand the procedure for notifying the supervisor of the inappropriate behavior and their desire for it to stop. We help people to document the incidents and attempt to stop the unwanted advances. If the employer fails to take the message or tries to retaliate, there is a strong case against them for sexual harassment.
