Sexual Harassment Attorney

Stop Workplace Discrimination With A Sexual Harassment Attorney

A sexual harassment attorney works to protect the rights of those who feel they have been victims of unwelcome sexual innuendo, sexual requests and demands and, who also may feel forced to perform job duties in a hostile work environment. College or high school students may also be served by the same type of lawyer. In addition, the attorney may also defend the school system, or employer.

Sexual discrimination involves treating an employee badly because of gender. Not being promoted because of being a woman is an example of gender discrimination. Harassment at work, being paid less than the male employees, and certain expectations simply because of gender are all instances of discrimination. Some employees prefer to have their cases investigated by the EEOC who will review all documents regarding each incident. Often, an employee will feel embarrassed or fear losing their job if they complain, so it is wise at this point to obtain a sexual harassment attorney.

In order to define sexual harassment in the workplace, examples may be verbal or physical such as, inappropriate or unwelcome touching, verbal abuse such as demands for sex, or pointing and making remarks about specific parts of the anatomy, or an employer requesting sexual favors. In return, the employee may keep her job. These stressful situations lead to what is termed a hostile work environment. Because of this, the victimized employee can no longer perform her job duties well. Sexual discrimination or harassment extends to those who are homosexual as well. Heterosexual men can be targets of harassment, but not as frequently as women.

A sexual harassment attorney would most likely advise any company who prefers to avoid lawsuits that it is their responsibility to provide training, protection, and support to those who feel sexually discriminated against. In California, the law states training to be provided every two years for companies with 50 or more employees. If the company has new hires, they should have completed training within their first 6 months. The setting should be a private room and the teacher highly qualified, such as a professor, teacher, or human resource worker. Classes usually last two hours and involve training on all types of discrimination. With proper education, workplace harassment incidences will decrease or stop completely.

By Paul Davis
