Sexual Harassment Evidence
Companies are getting very clever and in this economy they are getting rid of any employee who rocks the boat. What will typically happen is the employee is getting sexually harassed and speaks with management or human resources. The company does not want to rock the boat and really just wants to sweep the whole matter under the rug so they try and minimize what took place. Unless the employee is educated about the facts of a sexual harassment case, chances are they can be tricked by management. It is very important to learn your rights regarding sexual harassment in the workplace. Remember that the company has lawyers and people in place protecting their rights--so should you. Remember sexual harassment could create a hostile work environment for all employees.
There are usually three types of evidence in a sexual harassment case. First there are other employees who would be first hand witnesses. Second would be written evidence such as email. And lastly, voice mails. Most harassers are not stupid enough to say things in front of other employees or leave damning voice messages so email my be your best source of evidence. Even if the harasser does not email you but instead says stuff to you one-on-one you can still capture what was said via email. I suggest memorializing what the harasser said to you in person by resending it to him via email and getting him to respond. The key is to do it in such a way that he responds.
