Recently, several people have contacted us for advice only after they had already resigned, without fully understanding their rights. Unfortunately, this can limit the options available to them, making it harder to achieve the best possible outcome.

Reaching out to a lawyer can feel intimidating or even unnecessary until it’s too late. Many individuals hesitate to reach out to a lawyer at an early stage due to concerns about cost.

That’s exactly why we provide a 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝟭𝟬-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹. It’s an easy, no-pressure way for individuals to:
• Understand their situation early  
• Get general guidance  
• See how we can best support them

If workplace issues are leading you to consider resignation (which could amount to forced resignation/constructive dismissal), or you’re facing a potential dismissal, don’t wait until after the said fact to reach out to a lawyer. It’s helpful to understand your rights early and clarify your options.

While the state of mind of the victim is a crucial factor in sexual harassment cases, the Industrial Court may also take the victim’s conduct into consideration in determining whether an employee’s dismissal was with just cause and excuse.

This article explores the extent to which a victim’s conduct or perceived reciprocity may influence the Court’s assessment of alleged sexual harassment.

I have also added some guidelines on what you can do if you are a victim of sexual harassment.
