Making Sure You're Safe No Matter Where You Work

Federal and state law prohibits harassment of any form in a place of employment. You have the right to feel safe and secure at your job, and you should be free from any type of harassment or intimidation. If you have been subjected to an unsafe work environment, your employer can be held legally responsible.


Types of workplace harassment include:


  • Sexual, including unwanted touching or advances and inappropriate comments
  • Physical, including intimidation and any cause of injury
  • Verbal, including name-calling and other types of crude language
  • Emotional, including spreading of rumors and other types of slander
  • Discrimination or bullying on the basis of race, religion, age, sexuality, gender, or any other personal trait

Recovery After Experiencing Sexual Harassment

If you have experienced any form of sexual harassment in the workplace, you may feel objectified, humiliated, or unsafe. No one should have to experience those feelings in a work environment, and you shouldn't have to feel any sort of pressure that’s predatory or invasive. When these boundaries are violated by a potential or current employer, you have the right to seek justice and compensation.


Types of sexual harassment include:


  • Unwelcome sexual advances
  • Threats or blackmail of a sexual nature, in which a job or position is at stake
  • Requests for sexual favors in exchange for hiring, raises, or benefits
  • Using inappropriate pet names such as sweetie or honey
  • Sexual gestures or touches, including groping and grabbing
  • Inappropriate questions regarding an employee’s sex life
  • Suggestive comments about appearance
  • The showing of pornographic materials
  • Sexual assault of any kind
