Under the OSHA General Duty Clause (29 U.S.C. § 654), employers must provide a workplace free from recognized hazards — including serious psychological harm. Documented patterns of hostile conduct your employer ignores can constitute an OSHA violation.
California, New York, Illinois, and Washington have particularly strong worker protections against hostile workplace conduct. Your state law may entitle you to significant damages beyond federal remedies.
Document every incident with precision
Date, time, witnesses, exact words, impact on your work and health. This contemporaneous record is the foundation of any legal claim in the US.
Report to HR in writing
A written complaint creates a paper trail. HR inaction after notice strengthens your case — employer liability often increases when they knew and failed to act.
File with relevant agencies
Depending on your situation, you may file with OSHA, the EEOC (if harassment is tied to a protected characteristic), or your state's labor agency. WORKWARS generates the formal letter.
Consult an employment attorney
US employment law varies significantly by state. A free consultation can clarify your strongest path forward.
