HARASSMENT

Halavi Law, Inc. Represents Victims of Workplace Harassment

 

While some may dismiss workplace harassment as harmless, it can have devastating effects on victims. Research has linked harassment—especially sexual harassment—to post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other serious consequences. This kind of behavior can also create a hostile work environment, making employees feel demoralized and discouraged from standing up for themselves. At Halavi Law, Inc., our Los Angeles employment attorney is committed to helping workers who are facing these difficult situations.

 

Sexual Harassment

 

Sexual harassment is often associated with male perpetrators and female victims, but the law applies regardless of gender. It can come from supervisors, coworkers, subordinates, or even customers. Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination, which is illegal in all aspects of employment, including hiring, firing, promotions, wages, and benefits.

 

Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, sexual harassment falls into two main categories:
 

• Quid Pro Quo Harassment: This occurs when an employer conditions job benefits—such as promotions, raises, or continued employment—on sexual favors. Whether or not the employee complies, these demands are unlawful. Any retaliation for rejecting such advances is also illegal.
 

• Hostile Work Environment: When sexually inappropriate behavior is so severe and pervasive that it interferes with an employee’s ability to work, it creates a hostile work environment. Such cases may involve not only direct victims but also coworkers who are negatively affected by the harassment.

 

Other Forms of Workplace Harassment

 

California and federal laws prohibit offensive jokes, slurs, threats, intimidation, and other discriminatory behaviors based on protected characteristics, including:
 

  • Age

  • Mental or Physical Disability

  • Gender and Gender Expression

  • Sexual Orientation

  • National Origin and Ancestry

  • Pregnancy

  • Race and Color

  • Religion

  • Medical Condition and Genetic Information

  • Marital Status
