Sexual Harassment Lawyers Los Angeles & San Diego


Employers Have A Duty To Prevent Sexual Harassment In The Workplace

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. As experienced labor attorneys, we can represent you in state and U.S. District Court. California employment laws prohibit female and male sexual harassment. Harris & Kaufman represents employees in sexual harassment lawsuits as well as wrongful termination, wage disputes and in other cases involving workplace disputes.

Sexual harassment in the workplace can take several forms. One type of sexual harassment is where an employee must endure a "hostile work environment." In hostile work environment sexual harassment, 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 of sexual harassment 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.

Our law firm counsels employees. Trust Harris & Kaufman to provide you with the legal help you need to fight back against these abuses.


Your Right to Make a Complaint Shouldn't Cost You Your Job

Harris & Kaufman can represent you before the California Fair Employment and Housing Commission. We also can help protect your rights if there is unlawful retaliation on the part of your co-workers or employer after you make a complaint. If your employer fires you or denies you benefits because of your complaint, then you have recourse to sue your employer. Harris & Kaufman offers experience with California's labor and employment laws to defend you when your job becomes intolerable, or you are fired illegally.

You can also consult with Harris & Kaufman concerning other wage disputes. If your employer is unlawfully withholding overtime pay or vacation pay, we can help. Some employers try to avoid paying for overtime by lumping overtime pay into salaries or bonuses. This may be illegal. We represent employees in disputes regarding "exempt" and "non-exempt" employee classifications. Contact Harris & Kaufman to discuss your options if you have been denied overtime or vacation pay.
