Sexual Harassment Attorneys In Alabama
Inappropriate sexual advances, offensive comments and other unwelcome behaviors occur commonly in many types of social situations. If they happen to you at work, though, there are things you can do to protect yourself and hold responsible parties accountable.
Various forms of sexual harassment are prohibited by federal law. In essence, sexual harassment is gender-related discrimination. In the context of work, it is an employer’s action or inaction that disrespects the rights of an employee with regard to his or her sex.
