Additionally, the law protects you if you report such illegal behavior. Your California employer cannot retaliate against because you reported sexual harassment at your job. An experienced employment attorney can help you if you have been sexually harassed.

When a store manager at a local pharmacy subjected his female employees to sex and pregnancy harassment, the women stood up for themselves and took legal action. Allegedly, the manager frequently made vulgar remarks about women’s private parts, sexually propositioned female employees, made lewd comments about their pregnancies and bodies, assigned unfavorable job duties to pregnant employees and repeatedly grabbed female employees, including grabbing their buttocks. This kind of behavior is against the law in the California workplace. The women won over $200,000 in damages.
