According to California employment law, the following can all be considered as sexual harassment:

• Physical Harassment
• Sexual Advances
• Sexual Propositions
• Verbal Sexual Abuse
• Visual Sexual Abuse

Sexual harassment is defined as any unwanted verbal, physical, or visual sexual conduct as well as any unwanted sexual advances towards another individual, according to California law and according to the Fair Employment and Housing Commission regulations. If an employer is made aware that this is taking place at the place of employment, it is his or her duty to put a stop to it. If an employer fails to do so, that company may be facing a lawsuit. An employment attorney can help if you are wishing to press charges against an employer or company.

It is not always an employee that sexually harasses a fellow employee. Sometimes, an employee might actually be harassed by the employer. In some cases, an employer will either threaten or offer a promotion to an employee in return for intimate acts. This might result in job loss for the employee because he or she no longer feels comfortable there, or because the employer fired him or her when they did not comply with their threats. If you feel you have been sexually harassed by your employer, contact a Sexual Harassment attorney in San Diego, Los Angeles or Orange County.
