Sexual harassment involves offensive touching or comments. There are multiple types of sexual harassment: - **Quid pro quo sexual harassment, which means demanding sexual favors or the tolerance of sexual banter in exchange for a benefit at work such as a promotion or continued employment.** - **Hostile work environment sexual harassment, which may include making dirty jokes, discussing sex or body parts in the workplace, or distributing offensive e-mails.** - **Physical sexual harassment which involves touching, blocking, or attempts to touch.** Sexual harassment claims include same-sex harassment, co-worker harassment, harassment by a supervisor, and even sexual harassment from vendors, independent contractors, and customers. Your employer has a duty to investigate sexual harassment claims and can be found liable if it fails to do so, or fails to take appropriate remedial measures after doing so. Appropriate remediation following a complaint of sexual harassment includes transferring the harasser away from the victim of sexual harassment, disciplining the sexual harasser, or firing her/him. A failure to take action following a sexual harassment complaint is likely to be called legal ratification of the earlier acts of sexual harassment. Those situations can be costly for employers and expose them to punitive damages. If your employer retaliates against you for filing a sexual harassment complaint or for supporting another's claim, you may have a separate retaliation claim against your employer. Job terminations due to complaints of sexual harassment are likely to constitute [wrongful termination](https://joblawyer.net/wrongful-termination/). **Contact A California Sexual Harassment Attorney** **To speak to an experienced California employment harassment lawyer, call (818) 783-7300 toll free.**We handle all cases on a contingency fee basis with no upfront costs.
