CITY EMPLOYEE SETTLES SEXUAL HARASSMENT CASE
In CA, sexual harassment in the workplace is not to be tolerated. This means your employer cannot request sexual favors from you. Such favors might include sexual requests in exchange for a raise, benefits, or promotion. The denial of such requests might result in threats from the employer or supervisor which are also illegal. When a city employee was allegedly subjected to repeated sexually explicit e-mail messages by her supervisor, no matter how much she rebuffed him, and was forced to listen to him have sex with subordinates in his office as she was sitting at her desk nearby, she sued her supervisor and the city. The female employee won $225,000 in damages.
Sexual harassment can take many forms. Not only is it unwanted sexual attention and remarks, but it is also the hostile work environment created by a place that permits such illegal behavior. If you are experiencing sexual harassment in your place of work, call an experienced employment lawyer.
