Understanding Your Sexual Harassment Case
Explore essential resources on your rights, your options, and what to expect — everything you need to navigate the legal process, all in one place.
Sexual harassment under California law is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that is severe or pervasive enough to create a hostile or offensive work environment, or that conditions job benefits on sexual conduct. The two primary forms are quid pro quo harassment and a hostile work environment. California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) is broader than federal law and can cover harassment by supervisors, coworkers, clients, or third parties. A legal professional can review your situation during a free case review.
Workplace sexual harassment takes many forms, and several are common in San Bernardino's logistics, warehousing, and healthcare workplaces. These generally include a hostile work environment created by comments, jokes, or offensive conduct; unwanted physical contact or advances; requests for sexual favors tied to job security; digital harassment through text, email, or workplace messaging; an employer's failure to investigate complaints; and retaliation after reporting. Shift-based work and limited HR infrastructure can make reporting harder, which is why documenting what happened matters.
California workers are protected by FEHA and, for many employers, federal Title VII. FEHA prohibits sexual harassment and requires employers to take reasonable steps to prevent it, and employers with 50 or more employees must provide sexual harassment prevention training. In most cases you file a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) before bringing a civil lawsuit. Because protections and procedures vary by case, a legal professional can explain how they apply to you.
No — retaliation for reporting sexual harassment is prohibited under California law. If your employer demotes, disciplines, fires, or otherwise punishes you for raising a complaint or cooperating with an investigation, you may have a separate retaliation claim in addition to your harassment claim. Wilshire Law Firm's attorneys handle these cases on contingency, so there are no fees unless you get paid. Learn more about workplace retaliation →
In most cases you have three years from the last act of harassment to file a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD), and generally one year from the date of your right-to-sue notice to file a civil lawsuit. Timelines can be shorter or different when a government entity is your employer. Because missing a deadline can end your case, it's best to speak with a legal professional early.

How Do I Know If I Have a Sexual Harassment Claim in San Bernardino?
You likely have a valid claim if three things are present — unwelcome conduct, a workplace connection, and harm or a hostile environment. Unwelcome conduct means sexual advances, comments, or contact you did not invite. The workplace connection means it came from a supervisor, coworker, client, or third party tied to your job. Harm can be a hostile or offensive environment, or a job benefit conditioned on sexual conduct. California's FEHA deadlines apply, so contact Wilshire Law Firm's attorneys for a free case review.

Sexual Harassment FAQs
Our Most Frequently Asked Questions
We've answered the most common ones below. If yours isn't here, call us — we're available 24/7.
Sexual harassment claims generally involve either a hostile work environment or quid pro quo demands, both prohibited by FEHA. In San Bernardino's logistics, warehousing, and healthcare workplaces, shift-based work and limited on-site HR can make harassment harder to report.
You generally have up to three years from the last act of harassment to file a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department. Filing deadlines have exceptions, so confirm yours with an attorney soon.
No. California law prohibits an employer from firing, demoting, or disciplining you for reporting harassment or participating in an investigation. Retaliation of this kind can be the basis for an additional claim.
Yes. Under FEHA, employers must take reasonable steps to prevent and correct sexual harassment, and many must provide harassment-prevention training. Limited HR infrastructure does not excuse an employer from these duties.
