Benjy Smith has established a strong online presence, dedicating hundreds of hours to providing valuable guidance and support, particularly for clients facing sexual harassment, to help them succeed.
Sexual harassment involves unwanted sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature. It can also include offensive remarks about a person's sex. Both victim and harasser can be either a woman or a man, and the victim and harasser can be the same sex.
If you experience unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, inappropriate touching, lewd comments, or other sexually offensive behavior at work, you may be a victim of sexual harassment. Document all incidents and consider consulting with an attorney to review your case.
No. It is illegal for employers to retaliate against you for filing a complaint about sexual harassment or for participating in an investigation. Retaliation can include firings, demotions, harassment, or any other workplace decision that negatively affects you.
Document every incident of harassment with as much detail as possible. Report the harassment to your HR department or a supervisor you trust. If the problem is not resolved internally, or if you experience retaliation, contact a legal expert like Smith Law to explore your further options.
Federal laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as well as state laws like the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), protect employees from sexual harassment in the workplace. These laws apply to employers with 15 or more employees (federal) and in some cases even fewer (state).
While accommodations vary based on individual circumstances, measures might include transferring the harasser, altering reporting structures, or providing additional support and counseling services to the victim.
At Smith Law, we specialize in handling sexual harassment cases. We can help assess the strength of your case, guide you on how to properly document and report the harassment, and represent you in legal proceedings to seek justice and possible compensation.
The legal process may involve filing a formal complaint with your employer or a government agency, gathering evidence of the harassment, and potentially negotiating a settlement. If necessary, it could also lead to a lawsuit. Smith Labor Law will support you throughout this process, ensuring you are well-informed and your rights are vigorously defended.
