Sexual Harassment
There are state and federal sexual harassment laws that protect employees from sexual harassment in the workplace. Unfortunately, sexual harassment is a common problem, with employees suffering harassment based on their gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation.

If you believe your rights may have been violated, filing a sexual harassment claim may be one available option. Taking action can provide an opportunity to address the conduct and seek remedies available under the law.
