Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment and sexual assault is more common in the workplace than people once thought. If you’ve experienced or witnessed sexual harassment or sexual assault at work, you are not alone. Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination, it is a civil rights violation, and it is illegal. Sexual harassment ranges from offensive verbal comments, to physical touching, or even assault.
Minnesota state and federal laws protect employees against sexual harassment and also from retaliation if an employee reports sexual harassment. Many people who experience harassment of any kind may feel afraid, angry, or scared. At Conard Law, we are compassionate and we will listen to you. We will also fight for you if your rights have been violated. If you have been sexually harassed or you have witnessed sexual harassment, contact us.
Sexual harassment can take many forms, including:
- Offers of promotion or favorable treatment for sex or sexual favors
- Offensive joking, comments, emails or other unwelcome communication
- Unwanted sexual advances or unwanted touching
- Retaliation or harassment based on the termination of a sexual relationship
- Retaliation or wrongful termination for making a report or voicing a concern of sexual harassment or sexual assault
John Conard is ready to represent employees struggling with sexual harassment, including reaching settlements over $1,000,000 without ever filing a complaint or going public.
