Re: Reported once and it is still occuring
Not every offensive remark or conduct is classified as "sexual harassment." You did not state what exactly was going on. Is the harasser your supervisor or a co-worker. Co-workers are granted some leeway. What did the company say when you first reported the offensive conduct? Document every incident. If you have reported the conduct and nothing happened, I would at least contact an attorney for a free consult. The sexual harassment laws can be somewhat tricky.
