CAN MY EMPLOYER RETALIATE AGAINST ME FOR REPORTING SEXUAL HARASSMENT?
Sexual harassment and employer retaliation is against the law. A high school vice principal was recently awarded over $670,000 in damages after showing that her superior, the principal, had retaliated against her for reporting to the school district the sexually harassing comments he made to her. Sexual harassment in the workplace can be both verbal and physical. Both forms of sexual harassment are illegal.
Additionally, your employer cannot retaliate against you for reporting instances of sexual harassment or discrimination. Ways your employer might retaliate against you include demoting you, firing you, and taking away some of your benefits. An experienced employment lawyer will be able to go over additional ways your employer might have retaliated against you.
