Wyomissing, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/17/2019 -- Kozloff Stoudt, a group of experienced real estate attorneys serving Pennsylvania, is proud to advise individuals on their workplace rights when it comes to sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law prohibiting employers from discriminating against any employee based on race, sex, color, national origin, or religion.
If an employee is subject to sexual harassment in the workplace, there are several steps that they must take before filing a lawsuit. Firstly, Kozloff Stoudt recommends that they inform the harasser that they are being made to feel uncomfortable and ask them to stop. Next, it's advised to keep a paper trail of all communications between the employee, the harasser, and any management that become involved once a complaint is filed.
The next step is to report the harassment to management and also to any unions that the employee is part of as part of their employment or profession. Finally, employees are encouraged to file a formal complaint with the EEOC or your state's fair employment agency. Once this is done they may also consider filing a lawsuit.
Sexual harassment is prevalent in some industries and has a hugely detrimental impact on individuals across the world. Anyone suffering in silence is encouraged to speak up and complain about their harasser immediately.
