Yes, employment law allows you to sue an employer for harassment when you quit. Quitting a job may mean losing unemployment benefits, but you can still sue for harassment or discrimination.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n

Harassment can create conditions that make a worker feel like quitting is their best option. In other cases, the reason for quitting may be unrelated. If you want to sue your employer before or after quitting, you should get legal advice from an experienced wrongful termination attorney<\/a>.<\/p>\n
