Know Your Rights
Sexual harassment may involve sexual comments or sexual conduct which makes you uncomfortable or makes a work environment hostile. However, it also may involve differential treatment resulting from your gender, such as requiring longer work hours.
Although many people may be compelled to quit when sexual harassment or discrimination occurs, you have rights and should not be constrained to this option. We have successfully pursued claims on behalf of employees to hold employers accountable for discriminatory actions.
