Sexual Harassment at work | United Employees Law Group

Los Angeles Sexual Harassment Lawyer

No worker should ever have to tolerate sexual harassment on the job. Unwanted sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other forms of verbal or physical conduct fall under the umbrella term of "sexual harassment." It is demeaning and can make anyone’s life unpleasant. In fact, sexual harassment at the workplace violates California and federal laws. Contact UELG, A Professional Law Corporation, to speak with a qualified employment discrimination lawyer, including one from our Los Angeles Sexual Harassment Lawyer team, if sexual harassment at work has caused you harm. You can reclaim your life from sexual harassers such as a boss or coworker with the help of our skilled attorneys in Los Angeles and all other areas of California.

You should immediately seek an experienced local anti-harassment lawyer to make sure you meet California law deadlines for the filing of a claim in order to avoid missing the statute of limitations (the time within which a claim must be filed).

How Can a Los Angeles Sexual Harassment Attorney Help?

Document sexual harassment incidents and report them to your employer or HR. You should follow your employer's complaint procedures. Additionally, consulting an experienced sexual harassment lawyer immediately will help to protect your rights. Sexual harassment cases are complex and time sensitive. If you are unsure of your options, having a local lawyer review your case can provide you peace of mind. At UELG, our anti-harassment attorneys can explain your legal alternatives and help you decide the best course of action.

How Long Do I Have to Report Sexual Harassment?

Sexual harassment can be difficult to talk about. Some victims report the incidents months or years later, or never. We encourage workplace harassment victims and witnesses to contact our Los Angeles sexual harassment attorneys so we can address the matter promptly. If you file a claim with California Civil Rights Department (CRD), you must do so within three (3) years of the date that the harassment occurred. After you submit your complaint to this regulatory agency, you will be given two choices. You may either request a formal investigation from them, or you may request a “right to sue” letter so that you may pursue a private lawsuit against your employer. Once you receive the right to sue letter you will have one year from the date of the letter to file a private lawsuit against your employer.

Most Common Types of Sexual Harassment

Many forms of sexual harassment exist. Sexual harassment is illegal under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the federal Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act (Title VII), with serious repercussions for employers. Sexual harassment can include requests for sexual favors, unwanted sexual advances, and verbal or physical behaviors that disrupt work. Sexual harassment impedes work performance and creates an unpleasant workplace.

What is Quid Pro Quo Harassment?

“Quid Pro Quo” harassment occurs when an employer's decisions regarding an employee's status depend on their willingness to tolerate sexual harassment. This may affect promotions, work assignments, or even the ability to keep one's job. Both California and Federal laws consider unwelcome sexual advances or other sexual conduct quid pro quo harassment under circumstances which can include the following, for example: An employer implies or explicitly states that employment conditions rely on accepting the sexual conduct; and when rejection of sexual harassment is a basis for employment status decisions.

What is Considered a Hostile Work Environment?

Hostile work environment claims typically arise when unwanted sexual conduct makes the workplace unpleasant or intimidating. Requests for sexual favors, unwanted sexual advances, or sexually explicit behavior may be considered harassment by the courts when: The conduct interferes with an employee's ability to perform their job; and when another individual's actions create an atmosphere of intimidation or hostility in the workplace.

What does Sexual Harassment mean?

Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination in the workplace that includes unwanted sexual approaches, comments, or other actions that make the workplace hostile or offensive.

What is Quid Pro Quo Harassment?

“Quid Pro Quo” harassment happens when an employer bases an employee’s standing on their willingness to deal with sexual harassment. It could affect promotions, work assignments, or even your job security.

Why do workers have the right to be safe from sexual harassment?

California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the federal Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (Title VII) are the main laws in California and the United States, respectively, that protect workers from sexual harassment. These laws say that companies with a certain number of employees can’t treat their workers differently because of their sex, and include a ban on sexual harassment. California laws provide extra protections to workers who have been sexually harassed, in that sexual harassment is actionable regardless of size of the business’s workforce.

What should I do if someone at work is sexually harassing me?

If someone is sexually harassing you at work, the first thing you should do is tell your boss about it. Your boss is required by law to look into your report and do something about the harassment. If your boss doesn’t do what’s right, you may be able to take them to court. A sexual harassment lawyer with a lot of experience can help you figure out what your rights are and what you can do.
