Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in California

Re: Sexual harrasment

What happens is up to the company. If they don't 'reasonably' remedy the situation upon your complaint, taking into account your desired outcome, then you have the right to bring legal action if the situation is serious enough to justify doing so. If it was a minor one time thing, then discipline of the offender might be a reasonable remedy. If it is ongoing, serious and not remedied, or if you are retaliated against in some way for complaining, then the case is better for you. Feel free to contact me if you need to pursue legal action, if the case is in SoCal.

Re: Sexual harrasment

Basically, your employer has a duty to investigation and issue formal finding and conclusions. At that point, the employer should take some kind of disciplinary action according to its policies (reprimand, warning, or suspension) against the alleged harasser if there is sufficient evidence to support harassment.
