Frequently Asked Questions
Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual comments, advances, touchings or behavior that affects your job or creates a hostile or offensive work environment. It can include repeated comments about your looks or body, uncomfortable staring, unwanted touching, explicit messages, repeated requests to go out, pressure for sexual favors, and in the most serious cases, sexual assault.
It is illegal for an employer to fire, demote, or punish you for complaining about sexual harassment or refusing a supervisor’s sexual advances. This is called retaliation, and it can be a separate legal claim — even if the harassment itself is still being investigated. If this happens, speak with an employment attorney promptly to protect your rights and preserve your claims.
