What Is Sexual Harassment?

Sexual harassment is a form of workplace sex discrimination under Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. It applies to all U.S. employers with 15 or more employees. Under West Virginia law, it is a civil offense for workplaces with at least 12 employees. Generally, there are two types of sexual harassment:

• Quid pro quo: This occurs when a workplace authority figure requests a sexual favor in exchange for employment benefits such as a raise or promotion. Even a hint of such an arrangement can be considered harassment.
• Hostile work environment: Demeaning or sexual photographs, jokes or comments can create a hostile work environment that makes it impossible for you to do your job.

Experiencing either form of harassment can be financially and psychologically costly. We will help you fight for your rightful compensation.

Seeking Justice And Compensation

Victims of sexual harassment can seek compensation for lost wages due to the damage to their careers from being forced to quit or fired for reporting an incident. Often, employers fail to protect their workers or take action when harassment occurs. It is also common for employers to fire victims in retaliation for speaking up. In such cases, the business may be liable for damages. Our attorneys help victims pursue justice and hold employers accountable.
