Sexual harassment includes any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that affects employment conditions.
This behavior can create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment and includes both quid pro quo and hostile work environment harassment.
Filing a claim typically involves reporting the incident to your employer or human resources department and then filing a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or appropriate state agency.
An attorney can guide you through this process to ensure your claim is properly documented and pursued.
Compensation may include back pay, front pay, damages for emotional distress, and in some cases punitive damages.
The specific amount depends on the circumstances of your case and the damages suffered.
The time limit varies by jurisdiction but typically requires filing a charge within 180 to 300 days of the harassment incident.
Consulting an attorney promptly is wise to avoid missing these deadlines.
