What Counts as Sexual Harassment in California Workplaces?

Understanding your rights is an important first step. In California, sexual harassment in the workplace is prohibited under both federal laws and the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). These laws protect employees from unwanted behavior based on sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation. Harassment can be committed by supervisors, coworkers, or even people from outside the company who interact in the workplace.

Sexual harassment in Los Angeles workplaces can include:

• Unwanted touching or physical contact
• Lewd comments, jokes, or gestures
• Inappropriate or explicit emails, messages, or images
• Repeated unwanted advances or requests for dates
• Offering favoritism or job benefits in exchange for sexual favors
• Hostile work environment caused by ongoing offensive conduct

In Los Angeles, employees can file complaints with the California Civil Rights Department, formerly called the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). Our attorneys are experienced in these local processes and can help you navigate your options. Harassment does not have to involve physical contact. One inappropriate advance or persistent unwelcome remarks can be enough to take action. Our Los Angeles-based team stays updated on the latest legal standards so your case is supported by current California and federal law.

What To Do If You’re Experiencing Sexual Harassment at Work

If you are facing sexual harassment, taking deliberate actions can help protect your legal rights and create a record of what has happened. The most important thing is not to face this situation alone. Here is how you can protect yourself:

Key steps to take if you experience sexual harassment at work:

• Document every incident. Write down what happened, when, where, who was involved, and who witnessed it, and keep these notes somewhere private.
• Save physical evidence. Keep copies of emails, messages, or any documentation connected to the harassment.
• Review your employee handbook, if you have one, for company reporting procedures. Following internal processes may support your claim, but you are not required to file a complaint before seeking legal advice.
• Consider speaking with a trusted supervisor or HR. Only do this if you feel safe. If you have any hesitation, talk to an attorney first for guidance.
• Reach out to us. Speaking with a sexual harassment lawyer Los Angeles based will clarify your options, explain confidentiality, and help you avoid common mistakes.

If you are concerned about retaliation or keeping your job, we can explain the legal protections available and discuss strategies for your unique situation. Our attorneys act swiftly to secure evidence and protect your voice at work and throughout any legal process.
