Your Safety is What Matters. Being Harassed at Work is Illegal.

Losing your job is hard. Feeling like you were forced out because of constant harassment is devastating. A "hostile work environment" is more than a rude boss; it's a severe or pervasive conduct based on your race, gender, religion, or other protected class. Let's explore your rights.

01

Severe or Pervasive

The conduct was not just a single, isolated joke. It was frequent (pervasive) or so serious (severe) that it interfered with your ability to do your job.
02

Based on Protected Class

The harassment was because of your gender (e.g. sexual harassment), race, religion, disability, or other protected status.
03

"Constructive Discharge"

You reported the harassment, bur your employer did nothing. The situation became so intolerable that you were forced to resign just to escape it.
