Monetary Compensation and the Court System
A court can award a victim of sexual harassment
several remedies. An employee who has been terminated for complaining of
harassment may be restored to her job. An employee may also receive an award of
money for lost wages and emotional distress caused by the harassment. To
justify such damages, an employee can supply proof that the harassment required
treatment by a healthcare provider like a doctor or therapist. In less frequent
instances, an employee may be awarded punitive damages if the employer acted
with evil intent. In California, punitive damages awards of up to nine times
the size of the compensatory damages award may be justified.
