Workplace sexual harassment claims in Alabama must be filed with the EEOC within 180 days of the incident, with a lawsuit required within 90 days of receiving a right-to-sue letter. Alabama’s contributory negligence rule does not apply to Title VII sexual harassment claims, which use a federal liability standard focused on employer conduct and workplace environment. Alabama has no state-level sexual harassment statute, making Title VII the primary legal protection, and Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys represents workplace sexual harassment victims across Alabama.
