Federal and state laws protect employees from harassment. An employee who feels he or she is the subject of workplace sexual harassment or discrimination should seek advice from an experienced employment litigation attorney. A lawyer can evaluate the case and help the employee understand his or her options. In some cases, a lawsuit may be appropriate. In other cases, other legal tactics may be more useful.
In the meantime, employees should keep detailed records of the dates, times, and nature of any harassment they experience in the workplace. Employees should also familiarize themselves with the company's internal employment and harassment policies.
