Sexual harassment is a fact of life in many California workplaces.  Sexual harassment, such as inappropriate behavior, comments, or touching often creates a hostile work environment for both the victims of the harassment and those who overhear or see the harassment. Whether or not you are the direct recipient of sexual harassment in your Southern California workplace, you might still have a claim and be able to recover thousands. An experienced Southern California employment lawyer can help you determine if you have a case against your employer.

California law protects employees.  The state passed a law in 2004 with the hope of reducing sexual harassment in the workplace that stated that all companies with more than 50 employees were required to provide two hours of training on how to recognize sexual harassment and react to complaints.  Have you attended such a training seminar?

So why the recent rise in sexual harassment lawsuits?  Some blame the bad economy. Company executives are fighting aggressively to protect their budgets, which means many California companies have laid off valuable employees. If you or someone you know has been the victim of sexual harassment in the CA workplace, your employer has a duty to put an end it such unlawful behavior.

A knowledgable Southern California, employment lawyer can evaluate your case to see if you have been the victim of workplace harassment.
