Q: what should I do if I got sexually harassed at work by a coworker & management hasn't done anything about the incident?

this happened a week ago 09/08/2023 and I have not received a follow up about the situation, not report has been asked for me to file at work and I've just been told nothing can be done because he already quit. I don't feel like anything has been done about the station and an employee for this company I do not feel protected or safe to be at work

1 Lawyer Answer

A: Good morning, sorry to hear about the situation at work and at least the person who was harassing you is gone. I'm a workers' compensation attorney and this question should be answered by an employment lawyer. You might want to try reposting your inquiry and limit it to employment and sexual harassment law, not criminal or work injury or anything else. That may help you get a more direct response
