Sexual harassment is defined under Ohio law as unwelcome conduct that is of a sexual nature, which includes both verbal and physical actions. Frequent 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 Ohio Law Prohibit Sexual Harassment?

First, employers in Parma are often required to establish company policies regarding sexual conduct, which must be posted and visible to employees. Company polices might include such matters as contact information to be used in reporting sexual harassment, filing procedures, and remedial measures in the event that a claim is proven to be true.

There are also federal and Ohio laws that have appointed agencies to handle sexual harassment claims. These agencies have authority to investigate a Parma workplace for the sexual harassment conduct that is alleged in the complaints they receive. Employers are also prohibited under these laws from taking action in retaliation against an employee who has claimed sexual harassment, such as firing them or denying them a promotion.

How can a Ohio attorney help?

It can be difficult to both investigate and show a sexual harassment claim without having any expertise in the applicable areas of law. The federal officers who investigate claims of sexual harassment are, unfortunately, often too busy to give much attention to any one claim. Therefore, hiring an attorney in Parma can be the safest way to file your claim within the deadlines for sexual harassment claims that Ohio has defined.

Life in Parma

Parma, Ohio is a city in Cuyahoga County. It is a suburb of Cleveland. It currently has a population of about 84,000 people.

Parma is located southwest of Cleveland, and directly borders the city. Parma, Ohio was founded in 1826, by settlers from New York. Parma, Ohio was named after a city in New York of the same name, and likely came from the popular fascination with classical Italian culture that existed at the time. Through the rest of the 19th century, Parma remained rural, with its economy largely based on agriculture. Parma saw an explosion in population and economic growth after World War Two, when a major exodus from cities into newly-created residential suburbs was well underway. This was fueled mostly by increased consumer purchasing power created by the economic boom, as well as apprehension about living in major cities during the Cold War.

Modernly, Parma maintains its suburban character, and is largely a bedroom community for Cleveland.
