Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Michigan

Sexual harassment Michigan
I work for a large company and have
recently complained, verbally initially
and then in writing, about a
coworker who says rude, sexually &
racially disturbing things and has
made very unwelcome physical
contact with me. On the day I
verbally complained, the accused
brought me a gift cert. at work and
acted strangely. He kept asking ''are
we alright?'' I have felt that HR tried
to convince me to accept the g.c.
despite the fact that they tell me
there is a company policy on gifts in
addition to the policy on sexual
harassment. Anyways, I am very
uncomfortable about the way that
HR has handled it. They sat with
both him and myself only after I put
it in writing and I was asked to leave
after my complaint was reviewed. I
have seen no discipline, am still
expected to work with the other
employee and have not received a
written response from HR after a
month, even though I have
requested it. What do I do???
Obviously, this is the short version...

Re: Sexual harassment Michigan

We handle cases like this and it sounds as if you have a claim. Make sure there is a documented, written complaint to human resources, and that you save a copy of the complaint. Then, we can help you with filing for money damages with the state or federal agency. Feel free to call our offices or e-mail me directly.
