I am considering leaving my job because of the harassment I am suffering. What should I do?

 

 

No employee should have to endure harassment that has them questioning whether to even stay at their job any longer. But what’s important to know about this area of law is that leaving your job because you believe the harassment has become unbearable can be a very tricky legal claim to prove. Courts have made it quite difficult, though not impossible, for an employee to prove that they had no other choice but to leave their job because of the harassment that they’ve suffered. It’s important to talk with an experienced employment attorney before you make any final decisions on what to do about your job so you can know your legal options and your rights going forward.
