California EMPLOYER RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY
Employers are ultimately responsible for providing their employees with a safe and reasonable working environment. Although cases can become complex depending on the circumstances involved, employers are generally always liable for a hostile work environment when a supervisor or management employee are responsible for the harassment. Employers can also be held liable for a hostile work environment caused by a nonsupervisory employee when they knew, or should have known, about the harassment and failed to take any action to prevent or stop the conduct.

In addition to helping you fully understand your rights and the laws that can be applied to the facts of your case, our legal team makes the effort to always fight zealously on your behalf.
