Sexual Harassment - Orlando, Florida - Lawyer / Attorney
Sigman & Sigman, P.A., Attorneys at Law

No-one should endure being the victim of sexual harassment, especially in the workplace. Over the last decade, sexual harassment has been one of the most highly publicized areas of employment law. Even after the incorporation of workplace sensitivity training zero tolerance policies, sexual harassment still exists in businesses throughout Central Florida.

The law firm of Sigman & Sigman, P.A. has been handling sexual harassment cases in the Central Florida area for over 14 years.

Sexual harassment might be committed by a business owner, a supervisor, a manager, a lead person, a forepersons, a co-worker, a subservient employee, and even a customer and other third-party.  An employee might be subjected to sexual harassment by one person at work, or multiple people at work.  Some workplaces have an overall environment which is sexually hostile.

Sexual harassment is generally described as unwelcome sexual conduct in the workplace.  Such conduct can be categorized into three main types:

• Physical Sexual Harassment: Includes unwelcome physical embraces, kissing, grabbing, touching, brushing against, patting, pinching, or other unwelcome physical contact.

• Verbal Sexual Harassment: Includes 'come-ons', sexual talk, sexual questions, propositions, derogatory sexual comments, and even crude or “dirty” jokes.

• Visual Sexual Harassment: Includes pictures of naked men or women, sexual e-mails, sexually suggestive pictures, posters, signs, cartoons, or drawings of a sexual nature.

Severe or pervasive sexual harassment interferes with a person's employment and is a form of sexual discrimination, which is prohibited by Florida Law and Federal Law.

The law protects from retaliation those who object to or oppose sexual harassment (on behalf of themselves or on behalf of others).
