Top Ten Tips for the Victims of Sexual Harassment at Work

  1. Obtain a DFEH right to sue letter through an attorney before it is too late.
  2. Send a letter or e-mail to a manager so your complaint of sexual harassment is in writing.
  3. Make sure it is clear to your harasser that the offensive conduct is unwelcome.
  4. Keep a journal of all incidents with the dates and details.
  5. Do not engage in behavior, jokes, or interactions at work that could be used against you.
  6. Do not drink alcohol with co-workers or managers.
  7. Obtain a copy of all of the employer's sexual harassment policies.
  8. Make a list of all potential witnesses. They can also be anonymous witnesses.

  10. Contact the Armstrong Law Firm as soon as possible.
