TEENS AFFECTED BY SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT WORK – CONTACT BAY AREA EMPLOYMENT ATTORNEYS
People of all ages can be victims of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is against the law, and should not be tolerated at work. You may have faced one, or both, types of sexual harassment during your employment. The first type of sexual harassment is “quid pro quo” harassment. This is the type of sexual harassment that occurs when your boss offers to trade work benefits (or job security) for sexual favors. A second type of harassment is known as the “hostile work environment.” Under this type of harassment, a person is made to feel uncomfortable on the basis of sex as a result of offensive behavior that is severe and pervasive.
If you have experienced either, or both, types of sexual harassment you are not alone. Recently an 18 year old teenager sued Burger King for sexual harassment at work. Burger King agreed to settle the case for $85,000. The teen alleged that the general manager harassed her through unwanted touching, sexual advances, and requests for sexual favors.
