Preparing to Ask for Help for Sexual Harassment
Miami employees can seek help even when they are unsure whether the available evidence is enough to prove sexual harassment. Before contacting an organization or filing a complaint, it may be useful to gather emails, messages, screenshots, performance records, prior workplace complaints, and notes describing what happened. A written timeline can identify when the conduct began, who witnessed it, and whether treatment at work changed after the employee objected or reported it.
Whenever possible, these materials should be kept in a personal account or location that the employer and alleged harasser cannot access.
