California Sexual Harassment Attorneys
Sexual harassment is unwelcome behavior that occurs because of gender. This can include unwelcome sexual advances, request for sexual favors, or verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. When a situation of submitting to or rejecting this type of conduct is made a basis for employment decisions, it is in your best interest to contact a sexual harassment lawyer in California. Even if there is no employment decision involved, there may still be grounds for a suit if the conduct is sufficiently severe or pervasive that it creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.

An employee that is the target of sexual harassment must at least remember to do two things. First, make sure the harasser clearly knows that their conduct is unwelcome. Second, make sure that the employer knows of the situation, preferably in writing. If the sexual harassment continues, it is important to speak with a California sexual harassment lawyer. An experienced attorney can help you understand your rights and make sure they are protected in your workplace.
Sex-based harassment that is not of a sexual nature, also known as gender-based harassment, is also illegal. An example of this would be a supervisor who makes frequent derogatory comments about women and constantly refers to female employees using slurs or offensive language. It is also possible to be sexually harassed by a member of the same sex; if the offensive conduct occurred because of your gender, it fits the legal definition of sexual harassment.
