Arizona Hostile Work Environment Claims Lawyer
It's against the law, but it happens in many workplaces in Arizona — offensive behavior of a sexual nature that makes your job unbearable. As a victim of sexual harassment, you have the right to obtain compensation for your lost income and benefits if you have been discharged. You may also be able to obtain compensation for your emotional distress and possibly punitive damages as well. And by taking action, you put employers on notice that sexual harassment in the workplace cannot be tolerated.

Sexual Harassment Claims
The law recognizes two types of sexual harassment in the workplace:
Quid pro quo harassment — An explicit demand for sexual behavior as a condition of hiring, promotion or continued employment
Hostile work environment — Creation of an intimidating and offensive work environment through sexually oriented comments, jokes, pictures or other behavior
A single act may or may not constitute sexual harassment. But if you ask the perpetrator to stop or report it to management and the behavior continues, you may have a case.
