Questions we will ask and discuss with you

When our attorneys meet with you, we will discuss your case and ask relevant questions. Questions that we ask may include the following:

• Does your employer have a sexual harassment policy?
• Have employees received sexual harassment training and awareness and how often?
• Did you complain to anyone about the sexual harassment you have been subjected to?
• Did you file a complaint with your human resources department?
• What was the response you received regarding any complaints that you made?
• Were you treated differently/negatively after the sexual harassment reporting?
• Had you received any negative job performance reviews or evaluations prior to reporting the harassment? How about after the harassment?
• Did you receive negative job performance reviews or evaluations after you rejected another employee’s sexual advances?

Reasons sexual harassment goes unreported

Sexual harassment frequently goes unreported in the workplace for a number of reasons including fear of retaliation. Employees do not want to be fired, demoted, or otherwise see their careers negatively impacted as punishment for reporting sexual harassment. Employees also worry about being judged by coworkers and superiors who may think they are promiscuous or pot stirrers for reporting the harassment. And sometimes employees are simply afraid to report the harassment because they fear their harasser may try to harm them or take his or her harassment a step further in response to the report and they do not believe that their employer will take necessary steps to protect them.
