Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in California

how long do i have to file a harrasment suit?

I walked up to the boss and asked to make a request. He said request this, He grabbed my arm and kicked me in the butt. I said I request you don't do that again, his response was oh my god all I can see is dollar signs.

I am not the only one that has had this experience. there are others that he has actually gotten pretty graphic with sexually.

A sexual hostile work enviroment claim depends on the frequency and severity of the incidents. I would need more info before telling you whether or not you have a case. You can call me at 805/641-6600. You have 1 year to file a harassment case.

An assault action can be filed within two years in CA, but a sexual harassment action within One year. IF you are female and subjected to sexual comment, etc, in the workplace, you may have a discrimination/harassment action. If you are male, you will not be taken very seriously in making the same claims. Contact me if interested in pursuing.
