Aggressive Employment Attorney Covering Santa Ana, Anaheim, and Fullerton
Our law group has assisted employees in numerous employment and labor areas, such as sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, and retaliation. In California, laws protect employees and hold employers accountable for maintaining a safe, hostile-free work environment. Sexual harassment in the workplace, for example, is illegal and violates the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It can take many forms. It can include quid pro quo harassment, where job benefits are conditioned on accepting sexual harassment, and hostile work environment, where a male or female employee is subjected to a hostile, intimidating, offensive, oppressive, or abuse workplace because of the employee’s sex or gender. Some examples of sexual harassment include but are not limited to the following:
- Offensive and inappropriate comments about someone
- Inappropriate physical contact or lewd gestures
- Displaying graphics or photographs that contain nude images of individuals
An employee may also suffer from harassment on the basis of other characteristics, such as race, religion, or pregnancy. If an employee is discriminated against or harassed, the employee may be entitled to back wages, emotional and mental distress damages, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees.
