We Know There Are Lots of Questions. Let Us Answer a Few.
What's Next?
Employers can be directly responsible for the actions of supervisors or other managers if the harassment results in tangible employment actions such as a termination or a denial of promotion. They are also responsible for harassment by supervisors and co-workers if they have knowledge of the harassment and fail to take meaningful corrective action.
Continue to document any instances where you are experiencing signs of hostility, such as being isolated or shut out of regular meetings, transferred to a job you do not want, being taken off of special assignments, or any other shifts in behavior. Being treated negatively could entitle you to file a retaliation claim against your employer.
If you or a loved have been mistreated in the workplace, we strongly encourage you to retain the immediate representation of a labor and employment attorney by calling us today. FindLegal attorneys may pursue compensation for unpaid wages, medical bills, missed time at work, emotional exhaustion, physical pain, suffering, and more.

How Much Will a Lawyer Cost?
The attorney consultation is free, and our experienced lawyers will explain necessary next steps based on the facts of your case and your local jurisdiction.

They can also narrow down the best options for your situation and guide you towards the most successful possible outcome.
What types of labor and employment cases do your attorneys take?
Our attorneys work with all facets of labor and employment law but specialize in harassment and discrimination claims.
Discrimination can take many forms and can negatively affect your hiring, conditions of employment, compensation, or prospects for promotion. It can even get you fired. If you have experienced less favorable treatment because of a bias based on your gender, age, disability, national origin, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity, you may have been subjected to discrimination.
Harassment involves conduct by the employer, supervisor, or co-worker that includes unwelcome advances or other conduct that is so offensive, intimidating, or abusive that it changes your work environment or even affects your performance.
For these and all other employment-related issues, feel free to contact our intake staff. They will connect you to the right attorney depending on your specific issue.
Can my employer retaliate against me for filing a harassment or discrimination claim?
No. The law prohibits retaliation against employees who report harassment and discrimination.
What steps can I take to make sure my claim is successful?
- Review company policies and procedures
Review your company policies to see if any specific behaviors have been outlined in the document. Take note of expected steps on the part of the company when a complaint is filed. - Start a log
- Write out a detailed chronology of events that include:
- Date, time and location of the harassment
- Names of any witnesses to the harassment (along with contact information)
- What occurred during the harassment (specific details about what was said/done)
- Anyone who spoke to you about the harassment and when
- Actions taken by management
- Collect supporting documentation
Evidence comes in two forms: documentary or testimonial. Be sure to include emails, memos, audio video recordings, medical records and police reports (if harmed). Preserve every text message, email, and social media chat. If relying on eyewitness testimony, make notes of what occurred, and try to stick to the facts. - File a complaint with your supervisor or HR in writing
It is critical to any future litigation against your employer that they were aware of the incident(s) and that you have written documentation where possible. If your employer fails to treat your complaint seriously, investigate and/or take corrective action, as they may be on the hook.
Once an investigation is underway, take note of who conducted the interviews and any updates you receive. If your employer has tainted the investigation in any way, an attorney can obtain copies of these reports. They will also advocate on your behalf to identify biases, challenge findings, and hold your employer accountable. - File a complaint with the State or EEOC
In certain states, an employee must first file a charge with their state and/or the federal government. If you have already made a complaint, be sure to share this information with your attorney.
Is harassment ever a criminal matter?
The harasser’s actions may be a crime. If the harassment consisted of a physical attack, criminal sexual conduct, stalking, threats or another crime, the harasser may face criminal penalties.
Can I pursue a case if my immigration status in the U.S. is unclear?
Regardless of your legal immigration status, a lawyer will fight to help you get the justice you deserve.
