I represent employees with sexual harassment claims. Sexual harassment comes in many forms, such as: unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. This conduct constitutes sexual harassment when it affects an individual’s employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual’s work performance, or creates a hostile, or offensive work environment. Both federal and New York State laws provide a substantial remedy to you if you have been subjected to such abuse.
Sexual harassment claims generally fall into two categories, hostile work environment claims and quid pro quo claims. The first is that you have been subjected to a hostile environment because of conduct exhibited by your colleagues or supervisors to such an extent that it creates an abusive working environment. Quid Pro Quo sexual harassment occurs when employment status, promotions, pay, demotions, work assignments and/or hiring are based on rejection of or submission to sexual requests.
If you believe that you are being sexual harassed at work, you should be aware that laws exist to protect you from sexual harassment. I would be pleased to meet and discuss your concerns with you. There is no charge for the initial consultation.
