This Lawyer Monthly article explains what employees and employers should do after a sexual harassment complaint. It outlines that every worker is entitled to a harassment‑free workplace and that harassment can occur both on and off company property. Employers are legally obligated to address complaints seriously, investigate appropriately, and take remedial steps, such as warnings, transfers, or disciplinary action, to stop unlawful conduct. The article also highlights that retaliation—like firing or punitive job changes—after filing a complaint is unlawful and encourages employees to document incidents and seek legal counsel promptly if they face retaliation or ongoing harassment.
