Warning signs of sexual harassment & Employee Rights

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.
