Attorneys Representing Workers in Hostile Workplace Environment Claims in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Harassment that is so severe and pervasive that it effectively alters the terms and conditions of an employee’s job constitutes a hostile work environment. A hostile workplace is not necessarily limited to sexual harassment, but also includes other types of conduct that create an intimidating and offensive work environment.

In California, employers have an obligation to provide their employees with a work environment that is free from harassment. An employer who has been notified or is aware of harassing conditions in the workplace but fails to take any action to prevent it from occurring, may also be liable for failure to prevent harassment.

If you have suffered from conditions that you believe constitute a hostile work environment, contact our office to discuss your case with our staff. We are experienced in dealing with these issues and we will fight to protect your rights and prevent this type of harassment from occurring in the workplace.
