Our Employment Attorneys Protect Employees Against HarassmentSexual harassment is against the law. Sexual harassment can also give rise to a criminal action against the harasser if you are touched in a manner that is unwelcome or against your will (including rape). Any job offers in exchange for sex may also constitute criminal solicitation.
There are two primary forms of sexual harassment: (1) hostile work environment or hostile workplace and (2) quid pro quo. In a hostile workplace, an employee is subject to severe or pervasive sexual harassment. This can include pornography, offensive jokes, sexual bullying, repeated touching, etc. In quid pro quo sexual harassment, an employer bases on employment decision on an exchange of sexual favors. This may include indirect actions, such as hinting that an applicant will have a better chance of a receiving a promotion if he or she were more receptive to sexual advances. Both male and females may bring claims against their employers for sexual harassment.
Many courts and even the EEOC may require that an employee have made an outcry when claiming sexual harassment. An employee who suffers in silence or quits her job may lose her rights. Therefore, you should contact us immediately if you are suffering from sexual harassment.

Our Texas Employment Lawyers Fight For Equal PayThe Equal Pay Act of 1963 requires that an employer pay men and women the same for equal work.
