I work in an office and one of the guys out back on the yard keeps telling people we had sex and keeps telling everyone. He has started to make comments in front of me to other coworkers about me also. We have never had sex and never will. He has been calling me all kinds of name and said I paid him for sex...etc.

I doubt you're serious. But if you are, there are two solutions: confront him and hope you can change the behavior, or report him to your company's powers that be.

Well, you've filed a complaint with the company, I think you need to pursue the status of that. Most companies would probably want to handle any workplace personnel problems in-house and in a professional manner. Your reaction is justified and understandable; just try not to overreact - that may bring you some grief. Good luck. I just read your additional details. The fact that the source of this email is someone in management may explain why your complaint has fallen on deaf ears - if that is the case. So, I agree with what others have stated - maybe you should talk to an attorney and get some clarification/advice. I'm no lawyer, but I sense that slander or defamation of character may be a hard case to prove and have to be a lot more serious in nature - the sender of this email could claim that any statements made were his opinions and he is entitled to express his opinions to others - especially in an email that was meant to be a "private communication" to a specific few. If it was a public communication sent to everyone in the company with a certain intent and purpose - well, that's another story.

Ignore the jerk. He is trying to get your attention and to make you angry. Keep a record of the times and dates that he says stuff, and of what he says. Ask your boss what you should do about it. Once your boss knows the situation, he/she will need to talk to the guy and ask him to stop talking about you. If you report it to your manager and they do not do anything about it, the employer can be sued for sexual harassment.

First, never entertain ignorance. I know it's hard to ignore something that you did not do or say. If this is going on in the workplace then you need to tell your sup. or go talk to an Attorney.

Go to Department of Labor website and get the information that you need. Also contact a lawyer in your area.

I wouldn't tell your boss because it sounds like this guy is looking for conflict. Everyone he talks to will know how insecure and unprofessional he is! We're not in 5th grade anymore.

Illegal. Inform authorities or something, I believe it's called sexual harassment.
