Sexual Harassment and Employment Discrimination

California has adopted, in the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) an extensive statutory scheme to prevent sexual harassment and employment discrimination in the workplace.  FEHA provides an overlapping statutory basis for the recovery of damages for sexual harassment and employment discrimination based on race, religious preference, gender, or age, to the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Act (EEOA)

Harassment claims, including sexual harassment claims, arise out of inappropriate behavior in the workplace by owners, supervisors, and co-workers. Harassment is generally defined by the law to include offensive behavior

Sexual harassment claims arise out of inappropriate behavior in the workplace by owners, supervisors, coworkers or others.  California law defines sexual harassment as harassment based on sex or of a sexual nature; gender harassment; and harassment based on pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions. Sexual harassment includes many forms of offensive behavior, including harassment of a person who is the same gender as the harasser.
