SEXUAL HARASSMENT
YOUR IDAHO SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAWYERS
The laws prohibiting sexual harassment and workplace discrimination make clear that such conduct should never be tolerated. Sexual harassment includes unwelcome and aggressive sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that affects an individual’s employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual’s work performance, or creates a hostile or offensive work environment. Further, unlawful discrimination may occur when any of the above mentioned protected classifications is the reason for adverse action in the work-place. Such personally humiliating conduct is wrong and it is illegal!
Our office has earned a top reputation for representing people in North Idaho with these types of matters and, as a result, we typically receive the lion’s share of workplace harassment and discrimination inquiries.
