Question

if I filed a formal complaint of harassment at work but now want to withdraw it can I. I am afraid of retaliation but my employer said I cant withdraw it an he is launching a formal investigation. We only have 15 people in our office so they are going to know who complained. I do not want to have to deal with the negative actions from the other parties.



Answer

When an employer receives a complaint of harassment the employer has a duty to investigate. If you are retaliated against then you have to choose between dealing with it (or leaving the company) or continuing to assert your rights and pursue remedies for the retaliation.
