Lawyer for Victims of Sexual Harassment
Has sexual harassment turned your job site into a hostile work environment? Are you being subjected to unwanted touching or offensive comments of a sexual nature on an ongoing basis? Were you demoted, wrongfully terminated or passed over for promotion because you refused to agree to your supervisor's requests of a sexual nature?
You may be the victim of illegal sexual harassment, a form of illegal sexual discrimination. Please contact me, employment law attorney Stephen Roger Bosin, to discuss your concerns. I take legal action to force harassers or their insurance companies to pay financial compensation to victims of sexual harassment.
The Forms of Harassment
There are two forms of sexual harassment. The first type involves unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that is severe and pervasive.
The second is called "quid pro quo" sexual harassment. Unless the victim agrees to submit to the harasser's conduct or requests, he or she will be fired or will be discriminated against in employment decisions such as promotions.
Unwanted conduct can be termed sexual harassment if it unreasonably interferes with your work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.
Five Facts About Sexual Harassment:
1. The victim or the harasser can be a man or a woman. Victim and harasser can be of the same sex.
2. The harasser can be your supervisor, someone else's supervisor, a co-worker or a non-employee of the company.
3. Anyone who is affected by the offensive conduct is considered a victim of sexual harassment, even if he or she is not the person who is harassed.
4. You do not have to be fired or demoted to be a victim of sexual harassment.
5. It is only harassment if the conduct is unwelcome.
