California Hostile Work Environment Attorney
Do Not Put Up with Intolerable Work Conditions
Employees have the right to expect that they will be able to do their work in an environment that is productive, safe and secure. When this expectation is not met by an employer, the workplace may be deemed hostile and the employer may be held liable for the damage and stress that is done to the employee. A hostile work environment is defined as a workplace situation where an employee cannot reasonably perform his or her work due to hostile behaviors by co-workers or supervisors.

Defining a Hostile Work Environment in California
In order for a workplace situation to be defined as a hostile work environment in California, certain conditions must be present. These conditions include:
- Sexual harassment from co-workers or supervisors
- Acts or remarks that are discriminatory regarding age, race and ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion or disability
- Actions from a supervisor that are designed to make you quit in retaliation for your actions, such as whistleblower claims
- Hostility from co-workers or supervisors that threatens your physical safety
In many of these cases, discrimination and a hostile work environment are not the only violations of employment law in a workplace. At Rutten Law Group, PC, we can help you identify all of the laws that are being broken and can help devise a strategy for pursuing compensation and relief for those infractions.
