Denver Sexual Harassment Attorney
The United States Government and the State of Colorado have enacted laws to
protect employees in many different ways. One of these laws insures that
employees can go to work without the fear of being sexually harassed. Sexual
harassment can take on many different forms including unwanted touching, sexual
comments or jokes, display of sexual images and even denying promotions or work
conditioned upon sexual favors.
In short, sexual harassment is any unwelcome sexual activity by a co-worker or
supervisor that creates a hostile work environment for an individual employee or
group of employees. Employers are obligated to vigorously enforce sexual
harassment laws. Employees have every right to expect relief from harassment
when reported, and for employers to conduct their workplace environment in a
manner that demands and requires dignity and respect for all employees.
