Sexual Harassment

San Diego Sexual Harassment Lawyer

In today’s society, it is hard to believe that sexual harassment in the workplace still exists. At the Kalafer Law Corporation in San Diego, our attorneys know that not only does sexual harassment still exist, but that many employers fail to fully understand that they are required by law to protect their employees from this behavior and the hostile work environment it creates. Employers must prohibit sexual harassment and harassment based on pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, marital status, age, sexual orientation or any other basis protected by federal, state or local law.

Examples of sexual harassment include the following:

• Verbal conduct such as epithets derogatory jokes or comments, slurs or unwanted sexual advances, invitations, or comments

• Visual conduct such as derogatory and / or sexual oriented posters, photography, cartoons, drawings, e-mails, or gestures

• Physical conduct such as assault, unwanted touching, blocking normal movement or interfering with work because of sex, race, or any other protective basis

• Threats and demands to submit to sexual requests as a condition of continued employment, or to avoid some other loss, and offers of employment benefits in return for sexual favors
