Follow any policies set in place. Some companies have anti-harassment policies and procedures in place. If this applies to you, make sure you follow the steps for reporting the situation. Document the situation. Write down details about the incidents, such as when, where, who was involved and what was said or done. Identify any witnesses who can corroborate your story. Talk to your employer. Your supervisor or manager may not even be aware of the situation, so it helps to communicate and let them know. Most employers will want to avoid legal action, so they will most likely work with you to stop the problem. File a claim. If you have informed your employer about the situation and nothing changes, you have the right to file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Do not wait too long, though, as there are specific time limits that apply (up to 300 days). You can file a claim online, in person, by mail or by phone. The EEOC will investigate and give you a Notice of Right to Sue. At that time, you will then have 90 days to file a lawsuit.
