Decisions about whether to sue for sexual harassment, and remain employed may be based upon:

• Probable retaliation for complaining of sexual harassment or suing for sexual harassment
• The physical size of the employer
• The sophistication of the employer
• Advice from a therapist treating the sexual harassment victim's emotional injuries
• The ability to find another equivalent job
• Whether quitting and suing for sexual harassment is viable on a legal level
• Who the harasser is and to what extent the victim of harassment must work with the harasser
• The feasibility of the victim of sexual harassment or the harasser being transferred away from each other or being given different work shifts

Our sexual harassment attorneys have counseled clients on all of the above issues. We have also assisted many California clients resign from their jobs, due to sexual harassment, and still receive unemployment compensation.

WORKPLACE SEXUAL HARASSMENT BY MANAGEMENT

Employers are strictly liable for the sexually harassing acts of a supervisor, manager, officer of the corporation, director, or the owner. This means it is possible to sue for sexual harassment if somebody in one of these positions committed sexual harassment, but the victim of sexual harassment chose not to inform others levels of management or human resources. For these reasons employees sometimes sue for sexual harassment by managers that has stopped by the time they sue. These cases are often brought while the employee is still employed. The reason for the delay in suing for sexual harassment might be the employee realized their level of stress increased, they were emotionally impacted by the acts of sexual harassment, and the way the harassment made them feel has not changed, or even makes the employee feel worse.

Sexual harassment is a personal violation. It is important clients be able to freely communicate with their sexual harassment lawyers. The victim of sexual harassment and their attorney need to discuss what is best for the employee who was sexually harassed. The best decisions about the proper course of action for any sexually harassed employee, let alone one who is still employed at the job where they were sexually harassed, are made after careful consultation and consideration between the client and an experienced sexual harassment attorney.
