Harassment in the workplace is illegal under both federal and California law.
You are protected from being harassed on the basis of your race, sex, gender, national origin, or disability status.
Harassment occurs when the harassing party engages in unwanted conduct or behavior that falls outside their job description or official duties. It might look like rude jokes or inappropriate comments that offend you or make you feel like your job security or safety is in jeopardy.
It is important to distinguish when workplace harassment crosses the line and becomes unlawful.
If these are not isolated incidents, you may also be dealing with a hostile work environment. Under California law, employers are required to take reasonable steps to prevent and correct wrongful behavior in the workplace.
Our experienced team of California employment attorneys will review your situation to determine if you have experienced harassment in the workplace.
Workplace harassment and discrimination are very similar because both types of inappropriate conduct can be related to your status as a protected class under state or federal law.
Discrimination occurs when action is taken against you by someone performing their official duties, like making hiring decisions or giving out job assignments or promotions.
