When to Consult a Workplace Attorney for Sexual Harassment 💼⚖️ Experiencing sexual harassment at work? Consulting a workplace attorney is crucial if: 1. Your Employer Isn’t Taking Action: If you’ve reported the harassment to HR and nothing has changed, it’s time to seek legal help. 2. You’re Facing Retaliation: Retaliation, such as demotion, undesirable assignments, or termination, for reporting harassment is illegal. 3. You’re Unsure About Your Rights: If you’re uncertain whether the behavior you’re experiencing qualifies as harassment, a lawyer can help clarify and guide you. Don’t wait until it escalates. Early legal intervention can help protect your rights and stop harassment from continuing. Learn more in our latest blog: https://smpl.is/9s7eb

With 1 month to go until new legal obligations come into force, requiring employers to take "reasonable steps" to prevent their staff from being sexually harassed (which is, in itself, a more than reasonable aim), it's worth all employers making sure they're ready in advance (which is made more difficult with the lack of any finalised official guidance). We are assisting a number of clients with this already - for more information, take a look at our article on the subject and feel free to get in touch #hrlaw #employmentlaw #harassment

If you are an employer, what should you be doing to be proactive and meet the requirements of this new legal duty? Freeths' Rob Smedley outlines key measures to prevent the sexual harassment of employees in the workplace.

Legal Options for Workplace Sexual Harassment 💼⚖️ If you’re facing sexual harassment at work, know that you have legal options to protect your rights and hold offenders accountable. Here’s where to start: 1. File a Complaint with the EEOC: Filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is often required before pursuing a lawsuit. The EEOC will investigate and may help mediate a resolution. 2. Consider Mediation or Settlement: In some cases, mediation can resolve issues without going to court, providing relief and compensation. 3. File a Lawsuit: If mediation fails or the harassment is severe, you may be able to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, and other damages. Taking action isn’t just about compensation—it’s about creating a safer workplace. Learn more about your legal options in our latest blog: https://smpl.is/9sakc
