Atlanta - Defense of Harassment Claim
Protecting Employers in Workplace Claims
Claims of sexual and racial harassment that arise from workplace misconduct are a terrible and challenging situation for employers. Businesses owners and employers face taking responsibility for the harassment and all of the financial consequences that accompany those claims.
FHC&W has a special focus on Atlanta harassment defense for area businesses and employers and helps them evaluate their situation:
- What policies were in place to address workplace abuse?
- Did the harassment occur at the workplace?
- Was the harassment properly reported and addressed?
- Is there a need to terminate an employee?
- Were there any other incidents?
We approach claims for workplace harassment with the goal to prove that our clients, employers and business owners, properly managed the situation and met their legal obligations. When incidents are not properly managed, companies become liable for the harassment that occurs in the workplace.
Contact our firm about defending a current dispute or to evaluate the current protocol in place for managing these claims. Unfortunately, harassment claims are a common problem most employers have to face at some point, but it does not have to be a problem that ruins your business. Get legal help to manage these situations, before, during, and after.
