Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in California

Sexual Harrassment less than 15 employees

How does sexual harrassment affect someone working in a small business less than 15 employees? I feel I am a victim of sexual harrassment by the owner and my boss of the company of about 9-10 employees. This person has shown aggressive behavior in the workplace during business hours and I am unsure how to proceed further with this issue.

You have different altenatives. One is a civil case against your employer for sexual harsassment.If you walk out and quit you can argue constructive wrongful termination for losing your job. If you get fired because of your complaints about the sexual harrassment at work you may have a case for wrongful termination based on retaliation. Another option is filing a worker's compensation claim and application. You may consider a combination of these options. They all depend of the facts and issues of your case.

In CA you are protected. The facts determine whether you have a case. You proceed by talking to an attorney or the government agencies involved to see if they agree there is a case. Feel free to contact me if interested.
