Sexual harassment is defined by Oklahoma law as unwelcome conduct that is of a sexual nature, which includes both verbal and physical actions. Prevalent examples of sexual harassment done by employers include making sexual advances, creating an overtly sexual and offensive work environment, and making demands for sexual favors as a condition to promotion.

How does Oklahoma Law Prohibit Sexual Harassment?

First of all, employers in the city of Edmond 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.

Oklahoma and federal laws formed agencies that process claims involving sexual harassment. They have the authority to investigate Edmond workplaces regarding the conduct alleged in the complaints that have been filed with them. Additionally, under these laws, employers may not fire or retaliate against any employee who has alleged sexual harassment in a claim.

How can a Oklahoma 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. It's not uncommon for federal investigators to be too overworked to handle individual claims. Thus, hiring an attorney in Edmond can be the safest way to file your claim within the deadlines for sexual harassment claims that Oklahoma has defined.
