According to the bill, discrimination in regard to ethnicity, race, religion, minority, etc. was outlawed, including discrimination in the workplace. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is critical to members of the workforce in the United States.
Title VII ensures that employers cannot discriminate based color, religion, race, national origin, or sex, as this is a serious form of discrimination. The Title VII regulations apply to any employers “who has fifteen (15) or more employees for each working day in each of twenty or more calendar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year”. Discrimination of any kind is strictly prohibited within any industry in the labor force throughout the country. Sexual harassment at work is defined as a form of workplace discrimination, covered under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII.

Types of Sexual Harassment at Work

Unfortunately, however, sexual harassment is a common occurrence in many of the organization across the country. It is important to note that sexual harassment can come in several forms: verbal, written, nonverbal, physical, or visual.

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.

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.

I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to Lead Attorney Nassar. Nassar heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nassar spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy, Nasar and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the direction that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury Attorney to Phillips Law Group. Thank you!!

Great experience! Took care of pretty much everything, and I always felt like I want in good hands. Caroline Fa. was also a great help with everything. She always returned my calls and I never felt unheard. Even after my case she would still help me with my insurance documents.

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.
