What Counts as Sexual Harassment?
As your dedicated employment policy legal services provider, we build tailored employee handbooks and workplace policies designed to match your industry, company structure, and regulatory obligations. We also review and revise existing policies to ensure they align with changing laws—including wage and hour rules, harassment prevention mandates, and remote work trends.
We Help Employers With:
Sexual harassment at work can take many forms. It doesn’t always involve direct sexual advances. Any behavior that is unwelcome, offensive, or gender-based may be grounds for a legal claim, including:
Inappropriate jokes, comments, or gestures
Physical touching or groping
Threats or pressure tied to sexual cooperation
Hostile conduct toward someone based on gender or sexual orientation
Repeated unwanted romantic advances
Sexually suggestive emails, texts, or images
Retaliation after reporting harassment
If this conduct affects your ability to work or creates a toxic environment, you may have a valid legal case. Our hostile work environment lawyers assess the facts and provide clear, honest advice about your rights and options.
Legal Protections Against Workplace Harassment
Employees in California and Nevada are protected by state and federal laws designed to stop sexual harassment and empower victims.
Sexual Harassment Laws in California
California’s sexual harassment laws, primarily under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), protect workers from workplace harassment based on sex, gender, or sexual orientation. Sexual harassment includes unwanted advances, comments, or actions creating a hostile work environment, as well as quid pro quo harassment, where job benefits are tied to sexual favors (Gov. Code § 12940(j)(1)). FEHA applies to employers with one or more employees, covering most workplaces (Gov. Code § 12940(j)(4)(A)).
The California Civil Rights Department (CRD) enforces these laws. Victims can file complaints with the CRD within three years of the incident (Gov. Code § 12960(e)). Employers must provide sexual harassment prevention training for businesses with five or more employees, including two hours of training for supervisors every two years (Gov. Code § 12950.1(a)). Employees can sue for damages, including emotional distress, lost wages, and attorney fees (Gov. Code § 12965(c)). The California Labor Code also prohibits retaliation against workers who report harassment (Cal. Lab. Code § 98.6).
Harassment doesn’t need to be sexual; it can include gender-based hostility, like derogatory comments about women or men (Gov. Code § 12940(j)(3)). Federal law, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, offers additional protections for workplaces with 15 or more employees (42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2). Penalties for employers can include fines, policy changes, or court-ordered remedies. Workers should document incidents and seek legal help to pursue justice and ensure a safe workplace.
