Michigan Employee Harassment

Contrary to common belief, not all forms of harassment are illegal in the workplace. Generally, harassment is unlawful if it involves severe and pervasive communication involving race, sex, religion, national origin, disability, weight, age, and various other protected groups. Harassment usually surfaces in the form of the following:

  • Quid pro quo: such as demanding favors, dates, or other acts for a promotion, raise, special assignment, or other advancement
  • Hostile work environment: such as a sexually-charged environment, racial remarks, sexual remarks, improper touching, supervisor "hitting on" an employee, and other harassment that causes a hostile work environment

Helping Working People Defend their Rights

If you are made to feel uncomfortable, with sexual harassment or other harassment at work, it is important to report the harassment to your supervisor or human resources department. If your employee handbook has a policy for reporting harassment, it should be followed.

The harassment attorneys at Miller Cohen PLC help you file a report with the EEOC and the Michigan Department of Civil Rights. Although these organizations will investigate the claim, our lawyers perform our own thorough investigation. We will work to obtain evidence that corroborates your claim and will pursue justice and compensation for lost benefits, lost wages, medical bills resulting from lapsed benefits, and other compensation.

Miller Cohen PLC has more than 40 years of experience representing labor unions and other employees in sexual harassment and other employment harassment claims. Contact our employment harassment lawyers for a free initial consultation.
