Grabbed my Butt

I have been working for the same company for 2 1/2 years and ever since I started working there there has been an employee which is the accountant and he has always sexually harrassed all the women that worked there with sexual comments and I am the HR Manager and everytime I have reported the incidences with the owners they have brushed it off as ''he's just an old man with no manner'' and I have warnned the owners that sooner or later he would say the wring thing to the wrong person or he was going to go too far and the situation would be excalate. Well it did. He grabbed me. I reported it to the owners, which are out of the office today and was told ''they don't know the circumstances so they would deal with it tomorrow''. I know this is going to be overlooked as always. I work for a contruction company, a man's world so this is normal for them. I wanted to know what are my rights. By the way I live in Florida

Re: Grabbed my Butt

The most significant factor in knowing what you can do is something that was omitted from your post. You state that you have made past warnings about the harrassment issue but you did not say if any of these past reports or warnings were ever put in writing. Were they? Have there been any past complaints? Were they made in writing?
