Sexual harassment in Missouri includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that affects employment conditions.
This behavior can create a hostile work environment or lead to adverse employment decisions such as termination, demotion, or retaliation.
While most claims involve workplace harassment, certain situations outside of the workplace may also be subject to legal action if they relate directly to employment.
It’s important to consult with an attorney to understand the specifics of your case and potential legal remedies available.
The time limit to file a claim varies, but generally, complaints must be filed within 300 days with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or within two years under state law for private lawsuits.
