The Supreme Court has established that sexual harassment is a form of workplace discrimination that diminishes the worker's equal opportunity on the job. Even when a harassed worker suffers no noticeable retaliation, loss of income, or undue stress by turning down sexual advances, she or he may still have a legitimate cause of action based on unequal treatment due to gender.

The Supreme Court has also made it clear that management at every level of a company is responsible for prohibiting sexual harassment by managers, supervisors, and co-workers. If you are experiencing sexual harassment, whether from a co-worker or a supervisor, you have the right to have it stopped.

What does an employer have to prove?
When you bring a lawsuit against an employer for sexual harassment, the company will have to prove that it took reasonable precautions to prevent sexual harassment and stop any harassing activity as soon as it was brought to management's attention. In addition, your employer will also have to prove that you failed to act according to legal instructions and failed to take advantage of remedies to correct the problem. As might be expected, employers will fight hard to blame the victim. An experienced employment law attorney will help you stand firm for your rights.
