Here are key steps to help you assess if you have a workplace harassment case and the importance of seeking legal guidance.

Recognizing Workplace Harassment:

1. Duty to Investigate:

Employers have a duty to investigate harassment complaints promptly, regardless of the victim's request or consent. This duty is crucial in addressing workplace harassment effectively.

2. Factors for Unlawful Harassment:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) considers three main factors to determine if conduct constitutes unlawful workplace harassment:

• Victim tolerating harassment for job security.
