Sexual harrassment is a very serious tort. If you were unable to continue working there because of the hostile environment you would be entitled to lost wages, general damages (pain and suffering), and, worker's compensation benefits for the stress at work claim filed simultaneousely with the civil action. Please contact me directly at (619) 222-3504.
Work harrassment and slander are serious torts.
Re: My boss has made sexual advances
You must do something. All employers are required to have sexual harassment policies and make them available to employees. Follow it. Contact the Human Resource person for your company and tell them about your complaint. If you get fired, you have a case of wrongful termination/retaliation. If you do nothing, your credibility will be at issue, and the situation will continue. They will say it couldn't have been so bad. If you need further advise, call the Department of Fair Employment and Housing or schedule an appointment with an employment law attorney near you.
