You could be having a gut feeling that something is not correct. Sexual harassment is not just about blatant touching or inappropriate language. If you are feeling uncomfortable, pay close attention. For instance, a coworker bumping into you or putting a hand on your shoulder accidentally or intentionally while speaking about any project. Any form of touching is a warning signal that you are facing sexual harassment at the workplace.
Unwanted Texts And Emails from colleagues
Many jobs involve access to personal information
of employees like phone numbers for emergency communication. But when someone
oversteps this boundary and uses your personal information to contact you that
is not about work, it is a red flag—receiving sexually charged texts or inappropriate
emails send outside your work hours.
Comments about Your Appearance
While it's always lovely to get a compliment,
there is a line regarding sexual harassment. While it could come across as
genuine or sincere, when someone passes comments on your appearance, it can
indicate sexual harassment. For instance, if something tells you that you look
sexy or have nice legs are inappropriate comments that coworkers should never
tale. You should be aware of California Employment Law and stand for your
employee rights.
