Expert California Workplace Harassment Lawyers at Greenberg Gross

Workplace harassment encompasses a wide range of unlawful and damaging behaviors that can impact your career, emotional well-being, and financial stability. Understanding the specifics of your workplace harassment claim is crucial to securing the justice and compensation you deserve.

Different laws and regulations may apply depending on the nature of your claim. For instance, in cases of sexual harassment, specific employment laws and company policies come into play, potentially affecting who your claim should be filed against. In other scenarios, such as workplace discrimination, the responsible party might be directly liable for your claims.

At Greenberg Gross LLP, we have expertise in handling a diverse array of workplace harassment claims, including:

Sexual Harassment

No employee should have to endure sexual harassment. Our team provides compassionate yet aggressive representation for victims of workplace harassment. We will guide you through the process of filing your claim, gathering evidence, and fighting for the justice and compensation you deserve.

Verbal Harassment

Verbal harassment includes offensive or inappropriate comments, jokes, or slurs based on race, gender, religion, age, disability, or other protected characteristics. This type of harassment can create a hostile work environment, undermining an employee’s confidence and sense of safety at work.

Physical Harassment

Physical harassment involves any unwanted physical contact, such as touching, hitting, pushing, or other forms of physical aggression. It is not only a violation of workplace norms but can also constitute criminal behavior.

Visual Harassment

Visual harassment includes the display of derogatory or sexually explicit images, posters, emails, or other visual materials. This type of harassment can create an unwelcoming and intimidating work environment.

Psychological Harassment

Psychological harassment involves actions that cause emotional distress, such as bullying, intimidation, or deliberate isolation from colleagues. This form of harassment can lead to severe anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.

Cyber Harassment

With the increasing reliance on digital communication, cyber harassment has become more prevalent. This includes sending harassing emails, messages, or social media posts that target an individual based on protected characteristics or through threats and intimidation.

Retaliatory Harassment

Retaliatory harassment occurs when an employer or colleague takes adverse actions against an employee for reporting harassment or participating in an investigation. This can include demotions, unwarranted negative performance reviews, or even termination.

Quid Pro Quo Harassment

Quid pro quo harassment involves situations where job benefits, such as promotions or salary increases, are contingent upon the employee submitting to sexual advances or other inappropriate demands. This type of harassment often exploits power dynamics within the workplace.

Third-Party Harassment

Third-party harassment occurs when an employee is harassed by someone other than a direct employer or colleague, such as a customer, client, vendor, or contractor. Employers are also responsible for protecting their employees from third-party harassment.

Racial Harassment

Racial harassment involves discrimination and harmful behavior directed at an individual based on their race or ethnicity. This can include racial slurs, offensive jokes, or discriminatory practices that target  certain racial groups.

Gender-Based Harassment

Gender-based harassment targets individuals based on their gender or gender identity. This can include sexist remarks, unequal treatment, and behaviors or policies that marginalize employees based on their gender.

Age-Based Harassment

Age-based harassment involves discriminatory actions or comments directed at an employee due to their age. This is particularly common among older employees who may be subjected to negative stereotypes or unfair treatment.

Disability Harassment

Disability harassment includes any unwelcome behavior or discriminatory practices targeting individuals with disabilities. This can involve mockery, offensive comments, or failure to provide reasonable accommodations.

At Greenberg Gross LLP, we are dedicated to advocating for your rights and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve. Your career and well-being are our top priorities.
