Commenting on a woman who frequently takes breaks to pump milk for her newborn is a form of sexual harassment. Here are other forms of sexual harassment:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blocking someone from moving past or into another area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leering or making rude gestures at people in the workplace.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making graphic comments, derogatory comments, or sexually suggestive jokes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offering unwanted sexual advances.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physically touching someone in the workplace without consent.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providing an employment benefit in exchange for a sexual favor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sending sexual images or cartoons via email<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Threatening another person in the workplace for complaining about sexual harassment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sexual harassment complaints fall into one of two types:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hostile environment: Behavior or comments make someone in the workplace feel uncomfortable or unwelcome. The person feeling harassed may be a bystander, not the actual victim.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quid pro quo: This stands for \u201cthis for that.\u201d It\u2019s a form of harassment where someone is promised a benefit in exchange for a sexual favor. For example, a manager promises a worker a promotion in exchange for going on a date.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tips for Filing a Complaint With the Civil Rights Department<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Californians have the right to file a complaint on their own. However, you may not be familiar with the intricacies of the state\u2019s laws. When you file a complaint with the Civil Rights Department, you follow these steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build a file (online and printed) of the dates, times, and situations where you experienced the unwelcome behavior.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read your company\u2019s sexual harassment policy to determine how to file your complaint.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you feel safe doing so, file a formal complaint to your HR department, supervisor, or whoever you\u2019re supposed to go to.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your internal complaint doesn\u2019t work or isn\u2019t an option, go to the California Civil Rights Department and file an online, phone, or mail complaint. Again, be as detailed as possible with the information from the file you created.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the CRD goes over your case, the office may perform a detailed investigation, offer to mediate your complaint with your employer, or issue you a Right-to-Sue letter. At that point, you can go to a California sexual harassment attorney. Generally, you have a year from the date of the Right-to-Sue letter to file a lawsuit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maximizing Damages Under California Law<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You found an employment law attorney who agrees to represent you. That attorney considers the maximum damages your company should have to pay you. Possible damages are economic and non-economic and include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Current and future lost wages<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emotional distress<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical costs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain and suffering<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Punitive damages<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recovery of legal fees (fee-shifting)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The potential award depends on the severity of the case, the strength of the evidence, and the employer\u2019s actions. In the U.S., most sexual harassment charges are settled with settlements totaling close to $252 million between 2018 and 2021. A smaller percentage goes to court. In that same period, over $48 million was awarded in court.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A strong case is critical, which is why an attorney specializing in sexual harassment cases is essential. An attorney files the complaint and protects your rights during the discovery phase. Discovery includes;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Questioning your supervisors and other parties accused of harassment<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Requesting emails, personnel files, company policies, text messages, and other documents from the other party<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supporting you during interrogation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking depositions from witnesses<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Negotiating a Settlement vs. Going to Trial<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A settlement helps you avoid having to go to a trial and answer questions in front of the judge and\/or jury. You and your employer agree on an amount that ends the complaint. Your attorney helps you determine if the settlement offer is worthwhile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement, which restricts you from being able to tell others about the amount you received. It cannot stop you from telling others about the sexual harassment you experienced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you refuse a settlement offer, you go to court. A court hearing for sexual harassment can last several years. Ideally, you want a quick resolution, but complex cases often extend well over 1 \u00bd years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The court trial goes through several stages.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opening statements<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plaintiff\u2019s testimony (your testimony)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Witness testimony (witnesses\u2019 statements)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Defendant\u2019s case (Defending attorneys take your employer\u2019s testimony and present their witnesses)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cross-examinations (Attorneys question the other side\u2019s witnesses)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Presentation of evidence<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Closing statements<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The judge or jury\u2019s decision<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Award of monetary damages, any necessary protection orders, and job-related outcomes, such as policy changes or reinstatement<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two Key Criteria You Can\u2019t Ignore<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shegerianconniff.com\/dev\/practice_areas\/gender-discrimination\/\">Sexual harassment complaints<\/a> have a three-year statute of limitations.

Three years isn\u2019t a lot of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">California law also requires the conduct to be \u201cSevere or Pervasive.\u201d This means that at least one of the following must be carefully considered to determine whether the behavior was truly abusive, hostile, intimidating, offensive, and\/or oppressive.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The type of conduct<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The frequency and length of time<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How, when, and why the conduct occurred<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The level of threat or humiliation caused by the conduct<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you feel you\u2019re a victim of sexual harassment in the workplace or have witnessed someone else being harassed, speak up.
