Recognizing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

It’s not always easy to recognize sexual harassment in the workplace. Sexual harassment can come from a supervisor, coworker, client, or anyone else in the workplace, including people of the same gender. Inappropriate physical contact, offensive or suggestive verbal remarks, and employment-related bribes in exchange for sexual favors are all forms of sexual harassment. Furthermore, if this harassment is reported to a superior who fails to act upon it, the employer directly violates the law.

Examples of Sexual Harassment at Work:

• Unwanted touching or physical contact.
• Lewd jokes, sexual comments, or gestures.
• Repeated requests for dates or sexual favors.
• Display of sexually explicit images or messages.
• Threats or retaliation for rejecting advances.
• Quid pro quo harassment: “Do this or lose your job.”

Your Rights Under State and Federal Law

Both state and federal laws protect workers from harassment based on sex, gender, or sexual orientation. You also have the right to report harassment without fear of retaliation. If your employer fails to act or retaliates against you, they may be liable for additional damages.

We can help you:

• File a complaint with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD).
• Pursue claims under Title VII with the EEOC.
• File a lawsuit to seek compensation and justice.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Victims of sexual harassment may be entitled to:

• Back pay and lost wages.
• Compensation for emotional distress.
• Reinstatement or front pay.
• Legal costs and attorney’s fees.
• Punitive damages in severe cases.
