Re: Job Harassment/Discrimination

Employers have a duty to elimiate workplace harassment by other employees, and employers must also take steps to stop customers from harassing employees. However, like much law, the specific facts are critical. Filing a claim with the EEOC is one option; a lawsuit is another, which, in Oklahoma may be available even without first going through the EEOC.

Generally you should first stop and document everything you've done so far in terms of informing your employer (included dates, names, titles, etc.). Also document the harassment itself; when it happens, who, etc., and get a copy of your employer's policy manual (if there is one).

Then, contact a lawyer.
