Wake up people sexual harassment in the workplace exists!

matter was taken to court.  Subsequently she sued her employer for damages arising out of the sexual harassment.

The woman was diagnosed with several psychiatric conditions, including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the sexual harassment.  It was noted in the medical evidence that she was unlikely to ever work again.

She was consequently awarded $1.3 million in damages by the Victorian Supreme Court for economic loss, treatment costs and pain and suffering.

This case indicates that employers cannot simply ignore complaints made by their employees in regards to incidents of sexual harassment and expect to get away with it.  If someone has made a complaint, an employer must take appropriate action.

If you have been unfortunate enough to have been a victim of sexual harassment in the workplace,  the team at Koffels is experienced with this type of work, and is more than happy to help you obtain rightful compensation.
