SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE DEFINED

Under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, your CA employer may be found liable for sexually harassing you in two distinct ways.

The second type, which is traditionally referred to as ‘hostile work environment’ harassment, includes unwanted conduct of a sexual nature that is severe and pervasive enough so as to alter a term or condition of your employment or result in the creation of a hostile work environment.
