Workplace harassment

Salt Lake City, UT Viewed 51 times. Posted about 1 year ago in Employment / Labor

Last summer, a coworker threatened me and continued to harass me after I spoke with our manager and the company's h.r. department. Nothing was done to stop the harassment and I ended up being too scared to go to work. Eventually I was terminated due to job abandonment but I gave 6 weeks notice that I would be leaving if the problem was not resolved. Do I have a case? Also, how would a lawyer charge me for his/her services, contingency? - Is this your question? Add additional information

Until a lawyer has a chance to speak with you, you might find these EEOC links about sexual harassment and hostile work environments useful:

http://www.eeoc.gov/types/sexual_harassment.html

http://www.fcc.gov/owd/understanding-harassment.html

How a lawyer would charge you is going to depend on the lawyer and the specific details of your case.
