California Sexual Harassment Laws in the Workplace 

Sexual harassment in the workplace is strictly prohibited under both federal and state regulations to foster a safe and respectful work environment.

At the federal level, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 serves as a cornerstone, prohibiting discrimination based on sex, encompassing sexual harassment. Employers with 15 or more employees are mandated to maintain a harassment-free workplace under Title VII and can be held accountable for their employees’ actions.

In California, the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) serves as the primary legislation governing workplace sexual harassment. Unlike Title VII, FEHA applies to employers with five or more employees and offers broader protections. It not only prohibits sexual harassment but also addresses harassment based on various protected characteristics such as race, religion, disability, and sexual orientation.

FEHA imposes stringent obligations on employers to prevent and address workplace harassment, including mandatory training for employees and supervisors.

Case law plays a pivotal role in interpreting and shaping sexual harassment laws. Court decisions interpreting Title VII and FEHA establish legal precedents, clarifying the rights and duties of both employers and employees in sexual harassment cases.

 

Workplace Sexual Harassment in California

In California, sexual harassment is defined in alignment with federal standards set by the EEOC. This encompasses various unwelcome behaviors of a sexual nature occurring within the workplace or educational settings.

Common examples of sexual harassment include:

  • Unwanted advances
  • Quid pro quo scenarios
  • Visual or verbal harassment
  • Physical contact without consent
  • Derogatory remarks
  • Displaying explicit material in the workplace.

It’s crucial to recognize that sexual harassment revolves around unwelcome conduct, irrespective of the perpetrator’s intentions. Clear communication of boundaries is essential, allowing individuals to speak up if they encounter discomfort or harassment in the workplace.

Here are essential steps to file a sexual harassment claim in your workplace, empowering you to navigate this process with confidence:

  1. Document Incidents: Keep detailed records of any instances of sexual harassment, including dates, times, locations, behavior descriptions, and witness names. Keep evidence like emails, texts, memos, or any relevant communication on a drive that isn’t in your workplace.
  2. Report to Employer: Follow your company’s procedures for reporting harassment, which may involve submitting a written complaint or discussing the issue with an H.R. representative.
  3. File a Complaint with the DFEH or EEOC: If your employer fails to address the issue adequately, you can file a formal complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
