How Do You Sue for Sexual Harassment?
If you have been sexually harassed in the workplace, it's important that you take the following steps to protect yourself and fight for your own rights:
- Confront the harasser and inform them that their behavior is unacceptable and that it must stop
- If the harassment does not stop, go to your human resources department and report the behavior; every company should have a process in place for handling sexual harassment claims and they should be able to walk you through the steps of reporting the incident
- If you aren't able to resolve the situation through the designated channels, you should report the incident to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission; the government agency can then reach out to your employer and work to resolve the situation on your behalf
- If the EEOC is unable to resolve the issue on your behalf, they will issue you a "right to sue" letter which gives you the ability to take the claim to court
- Contact our team to discuss your situation and find out how we can fight on your behalf to get you the justice and compensation you deserve for the harassment you have suffered
We don't take sexual harassment lightly. Contact an attorney at Habbas & Associates today to pursue justice.
