Protecting the Legal Rights of California Employees from Workplace Sexual Harassment

Unfortunately, sexual harassment in the California workplace has been committed in the past by many individuals leading to a social movement of import. With the advent of the #metoo movement, claims by applicants and employees of illegal behavior on the part of those in a position of authority have come to light.

Sexual harassment can occur in a wide variety of ways, many of them subtle. However, any type of harassment based on one’s sex and body is illegal. Under California law, including the expanded definition under SB 1300, this constitutes sexual harassment. In this matter, you have both federal and state statutes protecting you. If you believe you have been a victim of sexual harassment in the workplace, we urge you to discuss your situation with a competent and trusted employment law attorney. Reporting sexual harassment is crucial, and there are legal protections against retaliation for doing so.

Legal Claims of Sexual Harassment in California

Our sexual harassment lawyers in Agoura Hills and Westlake Village have helped hundreds of individuals fight for their dignity through appropriate claims and lawsuits seeking and obtaining damages against those who have caused emotional and financial harm through sexually harassing behaviors. It is crucial to consult with an experienced sexual harassment attorney when dealing with workplace harassment to understand the telltale signs of employer retaliation and build a strong case.

In general, two types of sexual harassment have been categorized under these laws:

  • Sexual harassment leading to a hostile, offensive, or intimidating work environment; occurs when the harassing behavior is severe or pervasive


  • “Quid pro quo” harassment in which the harasser offers certain advantages (or threatens disadvantages) for sexual favors or some other type of sexual exchange


Sexual harassment can consist of a wide variety of unwanted behaviors, including the following:

  • Sexual or graphic comments, slurs, jokes, messages, invitations, or gestures of a sexual nature


  • Unwanted physical contact, such as backrubs, brushing up against you, unwanted touching, pats, or slaps


  • Discussions about sexual acts and/or body parts


  • Discussions or allusions to your body parts or those of others


  • Posters, pictures, cartoons, memes, or other visual displays of sexually explicit materials through electronic means or otherwise


  • Threats of losing your job, position, hours, work duties, or other aspects of employment if you fail to give in to a sexual advance or if you make a formal complaint about the harassing behavior


  • Loss of any employment benefits if you fail to comply with a sexual invitation or advance


  • Blocking your physical movement, cornering you, or other sexually intimidating behaviors


Unwanted sexual advances are a form of workplace discrimination that can create a hostile or offensive work environment.

Even if you are not the target of sexual harassment, you may suffer from the threatening nature of a hostile work environment as directed towards others. Furthermore, sexual harassment does not consist only of behavior directed at women by men. Both men and women can commit sexual harassment against their sex as well as the opposite sex.

Your Sexual Harassment Claim

Sexual harassment is generally regarded as being both objective and subjective. Its objective element is based on the fact that the behavior would be considered hostile or offensive if experienced by any reasonable person. The subjective element consists of the emotional distress that is experienced as a result.

Filing a sexual harassment claim can be daunting due to the fear of retaliation, but understanding the legal process and time limitations is essential.

Sexual harassment can result in:

  • Poor work performance


  • Wanting to quit your job


  • Depression


  • Other forms of stress
