Understanding Sexual Harassment in Palmdale

In California, the emphasis on prevention and education is quite high. The state government has stringent regulations on educational programs in schools and mandated training to those in authority, according to the statute. This, in turn, encourages an environment where harassment is socialized against.

Californians should be aware that understanding sexual harassment in California means more than understanding its legal definitions and protections but also being aware of the resources that exist to survive such harassment, including dedicated hotline numbers and support groups.

Sexual Harassment Examples

In Palmdale, recognizing and addressing sexual harassment is essential for maintaining a respectful community. Common examples include:

Unwanted sexual advances or requests for favors of a sexual nature
Persistent harassment through calls or messages of a sexual nature
Making derogatory comments about someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity
Publicly exposing oneself or engaging in indecent exposure
Intimidation or coercion to engage in sexual activities

Retaliation Protection

In California, as elsewhere, it is illegal to retaliate against an employee who makes a complaint of sexual harassment. These acts include demotion, termination, reduction in pay, negative evaluations, denial of advancement, promotion, transfer, or other adverse acts.

California’s legal system is set up to strongly encourage employees to come forward with harassment complaints without fear of losing their jobs or otherwise facing retaliation. If you are retaliated against, document the acts of retaliation and contact a Palmdale employment attorney to safeguard your rights.

Confidentiality in Harassment Cases

For the same reasons discussed above, confidentiality is an important component of the sexual harassment process. California law requires that details of the case remain secret during the investigation and throughout the legal process to protect the complainant’s privacy and the integrity of the investigation. Likewise, employers are obliged under the law to preserve the complainant’s confidentiality to the extent possible.

Knowing more about your rights to confidentiality can help you feel more comfortable reporting harassment.

Legal Remedies Beyond Compensation

Besides damages, (compensatory or punitive) remedies for sexual harassment include reinstatement of employment, a change in workplace policies, a mandatory training program for employees, and punitive damages from the harasser. These remedies can have a broader impact than just a cash resolution in protecting the victim from further harassment.

An experienced attorney can help you decide what remedies are available to you and advise on your course of action.

Support Services for Harassment Victims

In addition to legal support, support services for victims of sexual harassment can include counseling, mental health services, and support groups, which can help victims process experiences of harassment in a safe space. Involvement with support resources can be an important step in healing from the process and strengthening the well-being and confidence of the victim.

Reporting Procedures for Witnesses

Witnesses to instances of sexual harassment are also critical to the process of prevention and deterrence. Witnesses are encouraged to report any harassment that they observe so that workplaces and other environments remain free of harassment.

Employers, organizations, and communities should make reporting easy by having clear and readily accessible reporting procedures for witnesses. Providing support and protection for witnesses who report harassment is essential to building a culture of accountability that will ensure safety.

FAQs

Q: What Percent of Harassment Goes Unreported?

A: Studies into workplace harassment have estimated that up to a majority of harassment incidents go unreported. Victims who do not report their experiences often fear retaliation, that their complaints will go unchecked, or that they’ll damage their professional relationships if they speak up. Retaliation is illegal, so victims should certainly report these issues.

Q: Can I Claim Compensation for Harassment?

A: Yes, victims of harassment can claim compensation for damages. This may include compensation for emotional distress, lost wages, medical expenses, and even legal fees. You must file a claim with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) and pursue a civil lawsuit to help secure the compensation you deserve.

Q: What Is a No Harassment Order in California?

A: A No Harassment Order is also known as a civil harassment restraining order. It is a legal order issued by a court to protect individuals from harassment. It can prohibit the harasser from contacting or approaching you and often includes other restrictions to ensure your safety. Violating the order can result in legal penalties.

Q: What Is the Civil Harassment Statute in California?

A: The Civil Harassment Statute in California prohibits harassment by someone other than a close family member or an intimate partner. The statute affords victims a civil remedy (temporary restraining order) and relief from future harassment, which is defined as acts of stalking, threats, and physical violence.

For instance, if you are being stalked by a neighbor, then you could apply for a civil harassment restraining order under the Civil Harassment Statute.
