Federal sexual harassment is defined as sexual harassment taking place in federal workplaces. The Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII prohibits sexual harassment in companies with more than 15 employees, and also applies to government agencies, labor organizations and the federal government. Those who have been victims of sexual harassment in the federal workplace have the right to seek justice and legal recourse. Sexual harassment is against the law and individuals who have experienced it may consider filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or filing a personal lawsuit against their harassers. Getting in touch with an attorney who specializes in sexual harassment is a great way to get the ball rolling. Most attorneys who specialize in sexual harassment work on a contingency basis to make it easier for individuals to hire them.
