What is the name of your state? VT...I was harassed, then fired. Not getting into the whole scenario, I have a good case of wrongful termination. I recently found out this guy is still doing the same thing at work. I get fired, and he is still doing this stuff? Can I find out how this harassment situation was handled by HR, and do I have the right to know? I was told he was put on probation and would be monitored. Seems like that was a lie. By the way the "stuff" he did was of pornographic nature, and e-mailed to me and others. Faith

Can I find out how this harassment situation was handled by HR, and do I have the right to know? Not at the present. The only way you can compel the employer to hand over copies of any records they have is to file suit and then obtain a court-ordered suboena for the relevant records.

Of course, you can ask them, but they are under no obligation to provide the information to you.

Was your firing connected to the harassment to which you say you were subjected? If you were terminated simply because you complained of sexual harassment, your employer may have violated the retaliation provisions of the federal anti-discrimination law. You could file a charge with the federal agency that enforces the law. If accepted and fully processed, your employer would have to tell the agency how it handled your complaint. The federal agency, EEOC, would examine your employer's handling of your complaint and decide if it was consistent with the requirements of the anti-discrimination laws.


More details would be useful in responding. It seems odd that your employer would have fired the employee making the complaint and retained, even under monitoring, the employee who was sending sexually harassing material to other employees. I suspect some relevant details are missing.
