Trust The Law Office of Briana Kim
The team here at The Law Office of Briana Kim has been in practice for years. In that time, we have tackled countless complex sexual harassment cases, helping aggrieved employees hold those responsible for the harassment, including the employers that allowed it to happen, accountable. Let us leverage our knowledge of sexual harassment laws to get you the results you deserve.
Why Hire a Sexual Harassment Lawyer?
The California Civil Rights Department received 6,297 formal sexual hostile environment sexual harassment complaints in one recent year, and studies indicate that under-reporting is a serious issue. Only one in three victims of sexual harassment actually file charges. Hospitality, agriculture, and entertainment are the top industries for sexual harassment in the workplace, but these kinds of issues can come up anywhere.
If you’ve faced harassment at work, you should hire a sexual harassment lawyer who can help right away. Your attorney can help you with everything from gathering evidence to support your claim to taking your case to a jury trial if it cannot be resolved in pre-filing negotiations. Our legal team can help protect your rights and hold your employer accountable for creating a hostile work environment.
Examples of Sexual Harassment at Work
Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination, an issue that occurs when someone treats another person unfairly based on a protected characteristic. It happens when another employee, a client, or a manager engages in unwanted sexual conduct that offends, intimidates, degrades, or humiliates another person. Examples of sexual harassment in the workplace can include:
- Inappropriate sexual comments
- Unwanted advances
- Sexist slurs
Sexual harassment that involves unwanted touching of a sexual nature is considered sexual assault. All forms of sexual assault are considered sexual violence.
It’s important to note that sexual harassment in the workplace can happen in any job setting to anyone, regardless of their gender. Bosses, co-workers, and even customers can all engage in sexual harassment, which can also occur online or outside of work if it impacts professional relationships or the work environment.
Categories of Sexual Harassment
There are two primary categories of sexual harassment:
- Quid pro quo. Quid pro quo sexual harassment occurs when a person in a position of power offers job-related benefits in return for sexual favors or conduct. If you refuse their advances, you might also face negative consequences, such as being fired or demoted. A manager offering a promotion in return for a date could be considered quid pro quo sexual harassment, to give just one example.
- Hostile work environment. Hostile work environment harassment happens when unwanted sexual behavior is severe enough to create an intimidating or oppressive atmosphere at work, interfering with your ability to do your job effectively. Hostile work environment harassment doesn’t have to be aimed specifically at you, and it doesn’t have to originate from someone in power.
A co-worker repeatedly making sexual comments toward you that make you feel embarrassed and uncomfortable could be hostile work environment harassment.
All forms of workplace sexual harassment are illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act adds further protections for workers. It applies to most employers with five or more employees, from small mom-and-pop operations to large companies like Automatic Data Processing, Inc.
Your Next Steps
Before you can file a sexual harassment legal claim, you must file a report with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Your attorney can help you with this process.
FAQs
Is It Worth Filing a Claim for Sexual Harassment?
It is worth filing a claim for sexual harassment if you have strong evidence that indicates someone made sexually inappropriate comments or took sexually inappropriate actions toward you at work. It’s important to note that the financial and emotional toll of a sexual harassment claim can be significant, but most cases end in private settlements rather than public trials.
Is It Hard to Succeed in a Sexual Harassment Case?
It can be hard to succeed in a sexual harassment case. Many of these types of cases are dismissed by judges due to the fact that the legal definition of a hostile work environment is strict. Only some cases make it to a jury. Most settle outside of court instead of through a formal trial verdict. If you’re not sure whether you have a strong case, contact a La Palma sexual harassment lawyer about your case.
What Kind of Lawyers Handle Sexual Assault in the Workplace Cases?
Employment lawyers typically handle sexual assault in the workplace cases. They represent clients to protect their civil rights and file claims against perpetrators of assault and the employers who allowed it to occur. An employment lawyer can help with everything from filing initial claims through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to taking the case to a jury trial.
What Evidence Do I Need to Prove Harassment in the Workplace?
The evidence you need to prove harassment in the workplace varies depending on the circumstances of your case. Generally, you’ll need a detailed written log of the incident or incidents, copies of any offensive messages or emails, the names of witnesses, and proof that you reported the inappropriate behavior to HR or management. You must be able to show that the conduct was severe enough to create a hostile work environment.
