The workplace should be a safe and comfortable environment for all employees to do their best work. Unfortunately, there are still too many instances of harassment in the workplace — especially in regards to unequal treatment and unethical behavior from managers or colleagues.
It’s important that any situations of harassment or mistreatment are addressed and handled immediately; not only because it’s unacceptable, but also because ongoing harassment can have negative impacts on morale, productivity, as well as a diminished sense of safety and security in the workplace.
It’s The Law – No Harassment Zone
The law dictates that employers have a legal responsibility to prevent this type of behavior. FEHA specifically requires employers to take “all reasonable steps necessary to prevent discrimination and harassment from occurring.” (Gov.C. § 12940(k)).
If you were the victim of harassment in the workplace, call the Lawyers for Employee and Consumer Rights and speak with our legal experts. You’ll learn if your experiences qualify as harassment in the workplace. A workplace harassment attorney can also provide you with advice on how to proceed and what you need to do.
What Constitutes as Sexual Harassment in California?
Employee rights are a major concern in the workplace today, especially when it comes to upholding ethical standards. In California, sexual harassment is prohibited by law and can have serious consequences if not handled properly. As an employee, it’s important for you to be informed about the laws surrounding sexual harassment in order to know what type of behavior is unacceptable in the workplace.
One of the more prevalent types of harassment is sexual harassment. This can range from unwanted comments of a sexual or suggestive nature to unwanted touching to a manager or supervisor requiring a subordinate to provide sexual favors for job advancement. The California laws that address sexual harassment in the workplace are strict and designed to ensure that workers have a safe, comfortable place to work.
