Harassment
There are different types of harassment that are legally prohibited in the workplace. It is important for employees to know their legal rights to be free from harassment at work: if not, harassment continues, and the workplace becomes less safe for everyone. A harasser can be the victim’s supervisor, a co-worker or someone who is not an employee of the employer such as a customer.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default” offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”56″ bottom_padding=”64″ bottom_padding_tablet=”56″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” class=”protect_harassment_row” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ font_color=”#000000″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”protect_harassment_col” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” el_class=”protect_harassment_heading_box” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]

Sexual harassment is prohibited for this reason: an employee who is the victim of sexual harassment is being treated differently because of her gender. There are two common forms of sexual harassment in the workplace. The first is quid pro quo. In a quid pro quo case, a supervisor requests sexual favors from an employee in exchange for preferential treatment. The “preferential treatment” does not actually have to result in the victim being preferred over employees. In some cases, it is simply the threat of firing an employee who does not comply with the request for sexual favors. Whether the employee is given “perks” in the workplace or simply allowed to keep their job, this is a prohibited form of sexual harassment.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The other form of sexual harassment is known as a hostile work environment harassment. This type of harassment does not have to come from a supervisor. A co-worker can also create a hostile work environment through words, jokes, gestures, physical touching, or other actions that are offensive. An employer becomes liable for this hostile work environment when it is notified of the problem and fails to take reasonable steps to prevent these acts. An environment is “hostile” when the behavior is so severe or pervasive that it would offend any reasonable person. It is not always easy to determine whether a given circumstance qualifies under this definition. When you consult with one of our attorneys, they will be able to determine if your situation qualifies as a hostile work environment.[/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Contact Us” url=”/contact-us/” margin_top=”8″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][image_with_animation image_url=”89″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” el_class=”shap_img”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”80″ bottom_padding=”40″ bottom_padding_tablet=”64″ top_padding_phone=”72″ bottom_padding_phone=”56″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” class=”protect_harassment_row” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ font_color=”#000000″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”protect_harassment_col” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” el_class=”protect_harassment_heading_box” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Harassment

Gender is just one of various classes that are protected. Race, color, and national origin are all protected classes under federal and state law. This means that an employer can be liable if they allow an employee to be harassed for any of these reasons.[/vc_column_text][fancy-ul icon_type=”font_icon” icon=”icon-ok” color=”Extra-Color-2″ alignment=”left” spacing=”default” enable_animation=”true”]Like sexual harassment, racial harassment is illegal when it creates a hostile work environment that is objectively offensive to any reasonable person. So, what constitutes racial harassment? There are many actions that can qualify:- Offensive jokes
- The use of racial slurs
- Mocking gestures (especially about physical features of one’s race)
- Treating an employee differently because of their race, color, or national origin
There are many misconceptions about racial harassment. For example, it is possible for a victim to experience racial harassment from a member of their own race or ethnic group. Racial harassment can also occur to victims who are biracial or of mixed racial heritage. It is even possible for someone to experience racial harassment aimed at a race they do not identify with. So long as the harasser’s actions were motivated by race, the conduct is prohibited, and it does not matter what the victim’s actual racial identity is. It is important to consult with your own attorney about the specific harassment you have faced at work to determine what the best legal strategy is to protect your legal rights.[/fancy-ul][nectar_btn

Remember: the company’s HR and legal departments do not always protect you. Sometimes they only protect the company, and your legal rights may not be protected. By hiring an experienced California employment lawyer, you can get legal advice from someone who is working for you. Your attorney can develop a comprehensive legal strategy before you make any reports (either within or outside the company). Your lawyer will determine the best way to protect your legal rights.[/vc_column_text][fancy-ul icon_type=”font_icon” icon=”icon-ok” color=”Accent-Color” alignment=”left” spacing=”default” enable_animation=”true”]Our Orange County employment lawyers have years of experience handling harassment claims.
