Los Angeles Labor Lawyer Serving Bellflower, Diamond Bar, and Pomona
Our litigation law group primarily focuses its practice on employment and labor litigation, such as wage and hour disputes and harassment claims arising from the Diamond Bar area. Before a lawsuit alleging hostile work environment or other sexual harassment can be filed in state court, an administrative charge must be filed with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). An experienced employment lawyer can assist with filing the charge and obtaining a “Right to Sue” notice from the DFEH, which authorizes the employee to immediately file a lawsuit. The lawsuit filed in court will generally include the factual allegations constituting unlawful harassment along with a copy of the “Right to Sue” notice from the DFEH.
Diamond Bar employment attorney Yashdeep “Jesse” Singh represents employees who have experienced some form of harassment or abuse within the workplace. Sexual harassment in the workplace is illegal and can sometimes be difficult to uncover. Thus, the harassment must be proven through surrounding circumstances. Conduct that an employee in Diamond Bar, California may be subjected to that could rise to the level of sexual harassment includes:
- Unwarranted sexual advances, whether written, verbal, or physical, from a manager or supervisor
- Suggestive or abusive gestures or drawings that are sexual in nature
- An employee being targeted by a superior of the opposite sex with lewd or demeaning comments based on sex or gender
- Quid pro quo, or the promise of more favorable working conditions or benefits contingent upon the acceptance of sexual advances
Harassment is not limited to sexual harassment. It also extends to racial harassment or disability harassment. It also extends to individuals other than employees. Whether it is an employee, applicant, or trainee who is subject to harassment, the individual may be entitled to money damages, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees and costs under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) or federal laws.
