I was recently involved in a sexual harassment situation. I contacted my area hr and has gotten a written statement from me about what happen that day. I also got another girl to speak up aswell. He has been suspended I am totally scared to go back to work I don't know what to do or what to expect?

Federal law (and often state law, depending upon where you live) prohibits retaliation against persons reporting harassment or participating in an investigation of the same. If you do experience retaliation, you should report it to HR right away.

Don't let anyone make you feel guilty for what you have done. You are within your rights and it is critical to make sure that people understand that sexual harassment is not acceptable.

I am so scared to go back to wk. I do not wan to go. I feel uncomfortable and nervous. I wk. in an office in the back of a warehouse. That is where the assult happened to me. I can not walk in there again. I just get depressed whenever I think about what happened. Then again this is my only source of income that I have for myself and my child. What should I do I can't quit, but I still need my employment to survive.

Go to your HR Department and ask for their help. Perhaps they can help you with a reassignment into another area of the company.

Now I have an attorney. They have terminated the person who did this to me and another girl. What do you think this company is trying to do? This is a very big company. Rumor has it that he was terminated from another company for sexual harassment, and someone at the store pulled some strings to get into the company that I am working for.

I wish you the best of luck with this matter. People who prey on others as he did with you must be stopped.

Please help me. What I wasavoiding since the begining happened 2 days ago.I blowed up I told in front of everybody that I am going to report her for abuse and sexual harrassement to the Labor board. That is my first time I am living a living nightmares even worst than when my mother died. I did not want the Director know. I was only swallowing everything for 2 years. Everybody was telling me that she has something for me. I said I do not do such thing. Iam not a saint but, I hate to be in such story. Yesterday, everything blowed up. In front of the director, I started explaining everything. The coordinator exploded . She said in front of her boss. He is a lier.This man is delusional.He needs to pass a test for lying. I am going to press chrges on him. She also said: I am from the Bahamas, I do not date those kinds of man. When I tried to apologize my Dierctor for what happened
my coordinator stopped and said : I am going to pursue , you are going to end up in jail. Please, help me. I was not lying. I was trying to protect the agency and myself , even her because I know that this thing can be serious. I accepted everything she did to me .But at the end I have been trying an escape to go to casemangement. She tried to stop me differnet ways. She delayed the decision. She manipulated the director under doing a good job, so she has to do what she has to do, but the director cannot understand what happened. I know this case is not easy to trust because there is no tangible proof of harassment. I accepted evrything but I was living wutrh hope that I will escape her.

You are saying that a female employee who has some control over your responsibility is harassing you on the basis of your gender? And, you became upset when she did it again?

If that is the case, you should talk with the human resources department as soon as possible. Let them know of your concern. They will look into the matter and, if they believe that your situation is true, they will try to put a stop to the abuse.

If you disagree with their actions, you can file a complaint with the state (if they have an agency that takes care of such matters) or the federal EEOC (if they don't).

I redently found out that the person who sexually assaulted me was able to go back to work last week. What is up with that? I am getting very nervous now. I told my attorney, but I really did not get a response from him. I'm very confused. Does the company not believe me or what?

This is what I would do if I were you: I would send your emploeyr a letter via fax (keeping the fax transmittal sheet as proof that it was received). State that you are the victim of sexual harassment. Ask for assistance as you are very concerned for your own safety.

I would imagine that they will respond immediately.
