California law prohibits California workplace harassment, whether it is sexual or non-sexual harassment. As per the FEHA- California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act, employees who face harassment at the workplace have the right to sue their employer for damages.
In 2015, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing- a government agency responsible for implementing California workplace harassment laws- got 5,000 complaints only for sexual harassment.
Complaints about sexual and other forms of workplace harassment are common. Every employer should know about it. Also, the employees should know about their employee rights so they can file a potential harassment case.
Types of workplace harassment
As per California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act, there are two types of California workplace harassment. Check them as follows:
Quid pro quo harassment- If a supervisor asks an employee to engage in sexual activity as a condition to get benefits at work like promotion, increments, retention, etc.
Hostile environment harassment- This type of harassment occurs when workers harass their employees and creates an abusive work environment for an employee.
