What Is Workplace Sexual Harassment?
Harassment of a sexual nature that happens at work can involve one or several of your co-workers. It may also include people from other companies. Typically, as the name implies, these harassing behaviors and actions happen at an employer’s job site. But they don’t only happen at work.
You may endure inappropriate behavior at home, on vacation, or elsewhere. Examples can include:
- Messages
- Calls
- Emails
If you’re dealing with this unjust treatment, contact a sexual harassment lawyer in Shasta County, California.
Breaking Down Types of Sexual Harassment
Unfortunately, sexually related improprieties can happen in many ways. Common types of harassment that can happen at work include:
- Verbal: Sexual innuendos, dirty jokes, inappropriate comments, or derogatory statements.
- Non-Verbal: Explicit text messages, emails, or other messages. Uncomfortable and inappropriate staring or gestures.
- Physical: Being too close to another person, any unwanted physical content, and blocking someone from moving or getting away.
- Quid Pro Quo: Attempting to trade work or personal-related favors for sexual activities.
Direct and Indirect Harassment Targets Have Rights
Understandably, most harassment cases involve the person or people who are targets of unwelcome workplace behavior. However, this crime can also have indirect victims. These individuals can witness the unjust sexual persecution of another person.
Direct and indirect harassment victims have the right to hold the appropriate party responsible from a legal standpoint.
