What to do if my boss sexually harassed me and then cut my hours?

I’ve only worked there about 3 1/2 weeks; my is a doctor. He has kissed me on the cheek, tried to hug me and hold my hand. He’s also said inappropriate comments to me like saying. “I’m soft” and “thin”, among others. He has also called my phone numerous times. I told him I would appreciate it if he didn’t do that stuff anymore and he seemed OK with it but now asked another co-worker to send me home early today and told me not to come in tomorrow. I’m a hard worker and he’s even told me how I learned everything so fast and the patients love me. I was hired expecting to work 32+ hours.

If you believe that you are a victim of sexual harassment in the workplace where as a result of you thwarting unwelcome advances by your employer you believe as punishment that you have been penalized with reduced hours, you should consult an an attorney who practices law in the area of labor law about what happened and what he or she suggests that you do as a result.

Additionally, you may want to consult with your local labor department about what happened as well. You have the right to be left alone in a healthy work environment.
