What Is Workplace Harassment?
Workplace harassment refers to unwelcome behavior based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics that creates a hostile work environment. Allegations can also include sexual harassment, such as inappropriate advances, comments, or behavior.
If accused, it is essential to take immediate legal steps to protect your career and reputation.
Types of Workplace Harassment Allegations
Workplace harassment can be classified in different ways, including:
1. Hostile Work Environment
This occurs when repeated inappropriate behavior disrupts an employee’s ability to perform their job.
2. Quid Pro Quo Harassment
Quid pro quo harassment involves making employment benefits, such as promotions or raises, contingent on submission to sexual advances.
3. Retaliation
Employers may retaliate against employees who report harassment or participate in investigations, leading to additional legal consequences.
Consequences of Workplace Harassment Allegations
Accusations of workplace harassment can have serious repercussions, including:
- Loss of employment or demotion
- Damage to professional reputation
- Civil lawsuits and financial liability
- Loss of professional licenses
- Potential criminal charges
Defenses Against Workplace Harassment Allegations
Our attorneys at LibertyBell Law Group develop personalized defense strategies based on the specific allegations. Common defenses include:
1. Lack of Evidence
We challenge the accuser’s evidence, such as emails, texts, and witness statements, to demonstrate that the claims are unsubstantiated.
2. Miscommunication
Sometimes, behavior may be misinterpreted. We present evidence showing that there was no intent to harass or cause harm.
3. False Allegations
In some cases, workplace disputes or personal vendettas may lead to false harassment claims. We investigate the accuser’s credibility and motives to uncover inconsistencies.
4. Procedural Errors
If your employer failed to follow proper investigation procedures, we may seek to have the case dismissed.
