Regulatory Information
Texas Workplace Sexual Harassment
If you've experienced workplace sexual harassment in Texas, you might have the option to pursue legal action. In the context of the workplace, sexual harassment includes instances where an employee:
- Is asked for sexual favors,
- Faces physical or verbal abuse with a sexual nature,
- Experiences unwelcome sexual advances.
It's also against the law when both men and women are sexually harassed at work or when offensive comments targeting men or women in general are used. Importantly, the victim and the harasser can be of the same sex.
Laws Protecting Against Sexual Harassment in Texas:
Sexual harassment in the workplace not only violates federal law, specifically Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but it is also covered by Texas state law (Texas Lab. Code ยงยง 21.051, 21.101). This makes it illegal for employers to allow sexual harassment to occur in the workplace.
Definition of Sexual Harassment:
Under federal law, sexual harassment includes actions like using words with sexual connotations, subjecting the victim to visual and written sexual conduct, using vulgar and sexist language, making sexual advances, demanding sexual favors, and engaging in any sexual behavior.
Texas State Law on Sexual Harassment:
Texas state law strictly prohibits sexual harassment in the workplace and investigates complaints thoroughly. To file a complaint, individuals must approach the Texas Workforce Commission, Civil Rights Division (TWC-CRD) within 180 days of the alleged incident.
Employer Responsibilities:
All employers in Texas, regardless of size, must adhere to anti-discrimination laws, including those related to sexual harassment. Employers failing to address complaints may face fines or penalties following investigations by state or federal anti-discrimination agencies. The Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC) may investigate employers with 15 or more employees, while the TWC-CRD handles investigations for Texas employers accused of not preventing sexual harassment.
Where to File a Sexual Harassment Claim:
Victims in Texas can file a claim through the federal agency, the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC), or with the state administrative agency, the Texas Workforce Commission, Civil Rights Division (TWC-CRD). Both agencies collaborate, and claimants can choose to "cross-file" with either.
Filing Deadline:
Under Texas state law, complaints of workplace sexual harassment must be filed within 180 days. The federal statute of limitations is 300 days from the date of the incident.
Getting Assistance:
Before filing a sexual harassment claim in Texas, seeking guidance from a sexual harassment lawyer is advisable. They can help gather evidence, support your claim, and negotiate with your employer for the compensation you deserve.
