Sexual Harassment Legal Support for Caregivers
As a caregiver, your focus is on providing compassionate care to others. However, many caregivers experience sexual harassment when working in private homes. Because private households lack the safeguards present in many other work environments, when an in-home caregiver is sexually harassed, it can feel uniquely unsafe and unbearable. Many times, the only person to whom you can make a complaint about harassing conduct is the very one harassing you. Seeking help from the adult children of your care recipient can also be embarrassing and lead directly to retaliation and job loss. At Rehwald Peterson, we understand the challenges that are unique to caregivers who are facing sexual harassment. We can help.
Our experienced legal team is committed to protecting your rights and ensuring a safe, respectful work environment.
Examples of sexual harassment can include:
Unwanted sexual advances or requests for sexual favors
Unconsented to touching or groping
Sexual comments or gestures
Hostile work environments due to sexual harassment
Retaliation for rejecting sexual advances
Being subject to pornographic materials
