Let Us Defend Your Rights Against Sexual Harassment In Alabama
Under state and federal law, even an “at-will” employee may bring a legal action against an employer or supervisor who has sexually harassed that employee.
The victim of sexual harassment can be either male or female.
Under Federal and Alabama law, sexual harassment can include such things as:
- Verbal comments, including epithets, derogatory comments or slurs;
- Physical conduct, including assault, impeding or blocking movement, or physical interference with normal work or movement;
- Visual harassment, such as derogatory posters, cartoons, or drawings; or sexual favors, including unwanted sexual advances where sexual favors are asked for in exchange for an employment benefit.
A “hostile work environment” or “harassment” with regards to sex includes sexual harassment, gender harassment and harassment based on pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions.
“Harassment” because of race, age, disability, and national origin is also protected by Federal law.
If you report sexual harassment, racial harassment, or a hostile work environment prohibited by law, you may also be protected by the anti-retaliation statute.
This means that employees have the right to sue employers who have engaged in a hostile work environment or harassment, and to seek monetary damages and attorney’s fees.
