Orange County, CA Employment Attorney Helps Sexual Harassment Victims

Irvine, CA (prHWY.com) November 22, 2012 - Irvine, California (November 7, 2012) - Daniel Do-Khanh, a leading Orange County, CA employment attorney, is offering legal services to help victims of sexual harassment at work. For people given a demotion or poor performance reports owing to their failure to reciprocate sexual advances from their employers, hiring a lawyer can level the playing field for the worker.

California bans the conduct of sexual harassment under the provisions of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). The law defines sexual harassment as "unwanted sexual advances, visual, verbal, or physical conduct of sexual nature." Simply put, the harasser looks to develop a "you scratch my back and I scratch yours" (Quid Pro Quo) type of relationship.

As an experienced Orange County employment lawyer, Attorney Do-Khanh states that in order for the activities of the harasser to be considered as sexual harassment, the activities must be severe or must be invasive. One incident may not be regarded as sexual harassment. For example, a single request for a date is not sexual harassment, unless the conduct affects the work environment of the employee.

However, the employee that files the claim need not be the direct target. If the employee witnesses any instance where co-workers are subjected to these actuations, the worker can bring a claim for hostile workplace involving sexual harassment. The California Supreme Court ruled that the threat of demotion, termination and other adverse actions constitutes a hostile work environment.

The NDK Law Firm helps victims of workplace sexual harassment to get justice for the unlawful actions taken against them. Their lawyers can help victims go about the intricacies of filing their claims and go through the various processes of the legal system.
