Employer Duties
Employers have a duty to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. Once a complaint of sexual harassment is made, an employer must undertake all reasonable steps to prevent it.
Sexual harassment in the California workplace can take several forms. One type is where an employee must endure a "hostile work environment."
In a hostile work environment, the employee is:
• Exposed to offensive remarks or behavior on the job. This behavior includes unwelcome touching, obscene remarks, and can even be just plain staring.
• Another type is "quid pro quo" sexual harassment. This means that an employee must submit to some form of sexual harassment to continue having the job or to receive a job benefit.
• If an employer fires an employee or denies benefits based on the employee's complaints about undesirable advances or remarks at work, then this too may be a ground for legal action.
