Talking to Phillips Law Group was the best thing I could do, at first I had my doubts if they really spoke Spanish, but if there are people who speak Spanish and help you so humanely, I recommend that you talk to them in case of accidents, they send you to the doctor They are in charge of guiding you in absolutely everything and after everything was paid I received a monetary compensation which I did not expect and it was a great blessing

I came to Phillips law group as a very naive individual. They took me under their wing and they took great care of me. Montana is his name and he had my back when no one else did. I can't explain what a relief that was in a dark and painful time. They made sure I had all the care I needed and they made great sacrifices to ensure I came out happy. You cannot go wrong with having Philips law group represent you. I'd recommend them to my family and friends and to you strangers. Montana I'm in your debt.

What to do if Sexually Harassed at Work

In the United States, the employer is held responsible for any and all conduct of their employees, managers, and supervisors. When anyone within the organization behaves inappropriately, employers are accountable for any sexual harassment that takes places. Every company in the U.S. has a policy in place which applies to sexual harassment and the pending response to such lewd acts.

The following steps should be taken if you are sexually harassed at work:

  • First, try to tell the harasser to stop immediately
  • State that their behavior is inappropriate and offensive
  • File a complaint to a supervisor within the organization
  • Keep an accurate file of any instances of harassment, document every claim
  • File a charge with the EEOC for a private lawsuit

While seeking help for sexual harassment at work is uncomfortable, victims must understand that they are not alone. Unfortunately, sexual harassment in the workplace happens often. Employees must be well aware of the policies regarding harassment in the employee handbook. In addition, employees are encouraged not to quit, as the Supreme Court states that the employer must be given the opportunity to correct the situation first prior to intervening.
