The Elements of Sexual Harassment Case  

Many actions may amount to sexual harassment or sex discrimination (discrimination based on gender).

Those actions include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Offensive or unwanted remarks about looks, clothing, or body parts
  • Staring in a sexually suggestive manner
  • Sending explicit or sexually suggestive emails or messages
  • Telling sexual or lewd jokes
  • Making sexual gestures
  • Any unwanted physical contact that could be deemed sexual

If you are the victim of any of these actions while at work, you should contact a Birmingham sexual harassment lawyer. We understand your difficulties, and it is important to understand that you do not have to tolerate sexual harassment and sex discrimination at work.

Common Forms of Sexual Harassment 

There are two common forms of sexual harassment:

  • "Quid Pro Quo" Sexual Harassment: Many cases of sexual harassment occur in situations where benefits (such as salary increases, promotions, work assignments, etc.) are only granted to an employee in exchange for sexual favors or when an employee is threatened with termination or lesser consequences if they refuse to provide sexual favors.
  • Hostile Environment Sexual Harassment: Another common form of sexual harassment involves situations where an employee is the victim of hostility, where unwelcome verbal, non-verbal, and/or physical conduct toward them is sexual or based on their gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

What to Do if You Experience Sexual Harassment at Work

If you are experiencing sexual harassment at work, you should take the following steps:

  • Keep a written record of specific dates and the comments or behaviors that made you feel uncomfortable
  • If you feel safe, inform the harasser that their behavior is offensive and unwelcome
  • Report the harassment to your manager or supervisor and request they put a stop to it
  • Cooperate in the employer’s investigation of your sexual harassment complaint
  • Document any other instances of sexual harassment you experience after your report
  • If your employer fails to take action, file a claim with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
  • Consult with an experienced sexual harassment lawyer to discuss your options under the law
