I sent in my resignation because I was mad about an incident that happened to me. I had my pants and underwear pulled down to my ankles in front of 4 other employees by a long-time casual employee and the only disapline that was given to him was 3 days suspension (To a casual employee that is not even skeduled!?!) and an appology to me. I was so humilliated that i felt i couldn't show my face in the office. I sent in my resignation two weeks ago and tomorrow is my last day but I now want to withdraw my resignation. Are they obligated to allow me to keep my job if I withdraw it? Also is there a law suit there if they don;t allow me to withdraw?

Well, there's a lawsuit there, whether you resign or not.
That is unquestionably sexual harassment, and they're VERY lucky all you're doing is resigning. I'm sure they know that, so if you spoke with your HR department, they might just let you stay. I'd go talk to them to see what could be worked out.

Dude (or Dudette),
They aren't obligated to do anything if you are a non-union (or under a specific employment contract) employee. Call whoever you sent the resignation to and ask the same question you are asking here.
Could be, you might have case to take to your city or state Human Rights office though (especially if the pants yanker and boss are of the opposite sex), maybe even the Attorney General's Office or even the local Prosecutor.
Also, use spell check. We'll all feel better that way.

That's a tough one...It depends on your situation. Do you get along with your boss? If your boss likes you, then you can talk to him or her about wanting your job back. 3 days suspension and an apology seems fine to me. I mean, it's better to ignore fools like that. Seems like you overreacted by giving your resignation, I honestly think there is no lawsuit (it will be long shot) Your employers took an action and offered an apology.
But your best bet is to talk to your boss if you get along and tell him or her that you overeacted, and you want your job back. Hope you get it.

No, there is not guarantee. However, I believe you have legal recourse for the incident.

Only if they accept and have not hired someone else already. Try lawyers.com for your answer.
