South Florida Law Firm for Victims of Sexual Harassment
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) defines unlawful sexual harassment as any "unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature." Sexual harassment is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
There are rules and procedures involved in filing a complaint. The lawyers at Brody & OBeidy, P. A., are here to guide you through the process and can answer any questions you may have. Call the Miami law firm of Brody & OBeidy at 888-794-7654 or contact us online.
Take Action, Step by Step
Step 1: If you feel you are being subjected to repeated sexual harassment, you probably cannot picture yourself talking calmly to your HR rep about it. Yet that is a solid, first step to take. There needs to be documentation of your complaint. Your employer needs to know you consider this a hostile work environment.
Step 2: If the harassment does not end or your employer does nothing, you will need to file an administrative charge with the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR) and the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Your claim will be investigated and the agency will try to resolve it with your employer.
Step 3: Legal action. If the FCHR or EEOC cannot resolve your complaint, and decides that your claim is valid, you will get a "right to sue" letter. This means that you can bring your case to court. If your sexual harassment suit is successful, your outcomes might include:
- Reinstatement, if you lost your job
- Back pay if you lost money or missed out on a raise
- Reinstatement of benefits lost
- Monetary damages for emotional distress
