Letter to Report Workplace Harassment

This document is a Letter to Report Workplace Harassment. A letter like this is used when an employee of a company is being unlawfully harassed in some way by another employee. The main purpose of this letter is to alert the employer to the unlawful harassment, as well as to create a record of the report in case it is later needed, which it likely will be.

Unfortunately, workplace harassment in the United States is not uncommon. There are often times that employees are put in uncomfortable situations because someone is harassing them at their workplace. This letter provides a template to make a formal report to their employer, as well as to request that the employer promptly investigate and correct the situation.

It is important, in these situations, to have a strong written record of all of the incidents, as well as communication between employee and employer. This will help in case the employee needs to make a legal claim to federal authorities or a court of law down the line.
