Can You Get Fired for Reporting Sexual Harassment?

Orange County Sexual Harassment Attorneys

You may be reluctant to make a complaint about sexual harassment at work for fear of losing your job, being demoted, transferred, or otherwise retaliated against. In any case of workplace sexual harassment, you should let your employer know, whether through a supervisor, the human resources department, or some other authorized person, that the situation exists. Your complaint should be kept confidential and your rights protected by these personnel.
