Fortunately, there are state and federal laws that protect all employees from being harassed at work. The bad news: it’s still an all-too- common occurrence. In 2016, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) received nearly 13,000 charges alleging sexual harassment. If you have been the target of unwanted touching, requests for sexual favors, flirting, or other behaviors that have made you uncomfortable at work, an experienced employment law attorney can help.
In the workplace, sexual harassment includes any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other conduct of a sexual nature that interferes with an employee’s success and creates an intimidating, hostile, or uncomfortable work environment. A hostile work environment may also be created with other forms of discrimination, such as negative depictions or comments regarding your race, religion, or national origin.
