Sexual harassment
in the workplace remains a pervasive problem throughout
America. The number of sexual harassment charges filed with the EEOC and
FCHR has risen
significantly in recent years. The question of liability arises
only after there is a determination that unlawful sexual
harassment action has occurred.
Sexual
Harassment may occur in various forms, such as:
-
Leering,
i.e., staring in a sexually suggestive manner;
-
Making
offensive remarks about looks, clothing, body parts;
-
Touching
in a way that may make an employee feel
uncomfortable, such as patting, pinching or
intentional brushing against another’s body;
-
Telling
sexual or lewd jokes, hanging sexual posters, making
sexual gestures, etc.;
-
Sending,
forwarding or soliciting sexually suggestive
letters, notes, emails, or images;
-
When a person, usually of
authority, suggests and action of a sexual nature in exchange for increases
of pay, better work conditions, promotions, or other
employment benefits, favors, or advancement
opportunities;
-
When a person, usually of
authority, suggests and action of a sexual nature as a threat for
termination, demotion or any other manner of
affecting the victim's employment status.
If you have
experienced any form of sexual harassment, you should do the
following:
-
Immediately inform the
offender that you do not appreciate, not will you
tolerate any further forms of sexual harassment;
-
Report
the sexual harassment incident to the proper
management personnel;
-
Document the sexual harassment
incident for your own records.
The
employer has a legal obligation to address the
sexual harassment claim, and inform all parties
involved that sexual harassment is not only
prohibited, but illegal. If the management personnel
does not address the issue, or if the sexual
harassment conduct continues, contact an experienced
Orlando sexual harassment attorney (lawyer)
at LaBar | Adams immediately by calling
Toll Free:
(866) 680-4529.
If you file
a sexual harassment claim against your
employer, they cannot fire you as a result, as your
employer may also be faced with a potential
employment retaliation legal claim.
If successful in a
sexual harassment claim, you may be awarded compensation
for damages, including:
An employer is always responsible for sexual
harassment by a supervisor that culminated in a
tangible employment action. If the harassment did
not lead to a tangible employment action, the
employer is liable unless it proves that:
-
They exercised reasonable care to prevent and
promptly correct any harassment;
-
The employee unreasonably failed to complain to
management or to avoid harm otherwise.
