What Counts As Sexual Harassment
- Unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors.
- Offensive comments, jokes, or conduct of a sexual nature.
- A hostile work environment created by repeated inappropriate behavior.
- Quid pro quo harassment, where employment decisions are tied to sexual conduct.
- Retaliation against an employee who reports harassment.
What To Do If You Are Experiencing Harassment
If you are experiencing sexual harassment at work, documenting incidents as they happen, including dates, witnesses, and specific details, strengthens any future claim. Many workplaces also have internal reporting procedures, though you are not required to exhaust these before speaking with an attorney.
We help clients understand their options, whether that means filing a complaint with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, negotiating a resolution directly with an employer, or pursuing litigation.
