Alabama law defines sexual harassment as any unwanted conduct of a sexual nature, whether they are verbal advances or physical acts. Some forms of sexual harassment that are most commonly committed by an employer include exchanging favoritism for sexual favors, the creation of a hostile work environment of a sexual nature, and sexual advances.

How does Alabama Law Prohibit Sexual Harassment?

First of all, employers in the city of Mobile may be required to formulate company policies with regards to sexual harassment and post these in a visible location so that employees may be informed. These policies may include contact information for an employee to report sexual harassment, the process for handling such claims, and the corrective measures for when a claim is proven.

Furthermore, federal and Alabama laws create specific agencies which are responsible for handling sexual harassment cases. The agencies are given authority to investigate workplaces in Mobile to determine if the incidents alleged in the complaints they receive are true. Additionally, under these laws, employers may not fire or retaliate against any employee who has alleged sexual harassment in a claim.

How can a Alabama attorney help?

If you do not have any expertise in the applicable laws, it may be difficult to investigate and establish a claim involving sexual harassment. Federal investigators are often extremely overworked. With that in mind, you should consider speaking with an attorney in Mobile, as this may be the ideal way to ensure that your claim is filed before the deadlines set by the laws of Alabama.
