Attorneys Representing Workers in Workplace Harassment Claims in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Employers in California are prohibited from participating in and failing to prevent harassment in the workplace. Harassment can occur for any number of factors including harassment based on age, race, ethnic background, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion affiliation or disability. Unwanted touching and other comments and innuendoes, images or jokes directed at an employee constitute harassment in violation of federal and state law.
If you feel you are being harassed in the workplace, this type of behavior must be reported to your employer immediately. If an employer has been notified of harassment in the workplace but fails to take action to prevent the harassment from occurring further, the employer may also be liable to the employee for failure to prevent harassment, also in violation of California law.
All employers have an obligation to provide their employees with a work environment that is free from harassment. If you think that you have been harassed in the workplace, or if you have notified your employer of harassment and they have failed to take any corrective action, contact our office. We will aggressively defend your rights and help you recover compensation for your injuries. |
