Sexual Harassment On The Job

If you've experienced sexual harassment on the job, it's important to go through a number of steps. Confront the harasser if possible and tell him or her that you are uncomfortable with their behavior and you'd like them to stop. Inform management or your supervisor of what has happened. File a claim with the EEOC or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or speak with an attorney about filing a lawsuit. Most attorneys offer free consultations for sexual harassment victims as well as working on a contingency basis. This means that the attorney does not get paid unless their client collects a settlement or judgement for the sexual harassment. This helps even indivdiuals with low income be able to afford representation.
