Have you suffered sexual harassment?
When you file a complaint with the Human Resources department at your company, they are required to make an immediate investigation to determine whether sexual harassment has occurred. If there is evidence that your complaint is valid, they must take immediate action to correct the situation, including disciplining the offender.
If you are penalized for coming forward to report, you may be able to file a whistleblower claim, in addition to pursuing a settlement for sexual harassment which may include damages and remedies to correct the wrongs you have suffered, such as promotion or a pay increase.
Contact a West Virginia sexual harassment attorney who will fight for your right to recover the compensation you deserve.
