Sexual harassment in the workplace is illegal in Orange County, CA

If the “Me Too” movement has taught us anything over the last few years, it is that we have a long way to go when it comes to harassment in the workplace. Sexual harassment is pervasive at work, from the top levels of a company to the low-wage workers.

• An NPR study says that 81% of women report being sexually harassed and that 38% of women report being harassed in the workplace.
• 45% of men report having been sexually harassed.

What many people do not realize is that sexual harassment takes many forms. The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission tells us that sexual harassment includes:

• Unwanted sexual advances
• Requests for sexual favors
• Verbal harassment of a sexual nature
• Physical harassment of a sexual nature

This behavior is wrong and can have serious emotional and psychological consequences for workers who experience it.

Discrimination needs to stop now

The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission shows us the types of discrimination that are prohibited by federal law and the state of California goes even further with protections afforded to workers. In this state, workers are protected regardless of their:

• Race or color
• Ethnicity or nationality
• Gender or sexual identity
• Sexual orientation
• Pregnancy status
• Disability
• Marital status
• Religion (or lack of religion)
• Age

An OC discrimination& harassment attorney knows that this behavior often takes place in the form of job assignments, hiring and firing/layoff decisions, disciplinary practices, fringe benefits, promotion availability, in performance reviews, and more.

The EEOC investigated more than 80,000 discrimination complaints during the latest reporting year available. Most of those were centered on race, sex, and disability discrimination.

Please know that it is illegal for an employer to fire a worker for reporting instances of discrimination or harassment.
