Unlawful Harassment At Work

New York State law protects both men and women from harassment at work, and prohibits both heterosexual and homosexual harassment at work.  Sexual harassment may involve the harassment of women by men, men by women, women by women, and men by men.

There are two types of workplace harassment:

• Quid pro quo
• Hostile work environment harassment.

Quid pro quo harassment is applicable only to sexual harassment.

Quid pro quo harassment is a supervisor’s demand for sexual favors from an employee where granting or withholding of a job benefit (that is, tangible employment action which explicitly alters terms or conditions of employment) is involved.

Hostile work environment harassment involves conduct so objectively offensive as to alter the conditions of the victim’s environment, which is subjectively perceived as hostile or intimidating.

Hostile work environment harassment occurs because of the victim’s gender (or any other protected characteristic).

Unlawful hostile work environment harassment is not limited to sexual harassment.  In The Borough Of Manhattan, harassment based on the following characteristics is also prohibited:

• actual or perceived age, race, creed, color, national origin, gender, disability, marital status, domestic partnership status, military status, predisposing genetic characteristics, sexual orientation, domestic violence victim status, sex offenses victim status, stalking victim status, or alienage or citizenship status of any person.

If you work or live in the borough Of Manhattan metro area and you believe that you’ve been subjected, at your place of work, to either quid pro quo harassment or hostile work environment harassment, call the borough Of Manhattan Employment Lawyer David S. Rich to set up an initial consultation.

There are many situations in which an employee may believe they have been wrongfully terminated or unlawfully dismissed. However, unless they fall into one of several protected groups or situations, there is often no wrongful termination claim to be made. Still, if you suspect you may be a member of a protected group or were otherwise unlawfully dismissed, working closely with a wrongful termination attorney can help ensure you do your due diligence and that if there are grounds for a claim, you are in good hands.

For example, employers cannot discriminate based on characteristics like race, gender, age. Nor may employers retaliate against employees for whistleblowing, reporting abuse, or other protected conduct. To explore your options and determine how best to move forward for a wrongful termination claim in 10014, call the borough Of Manhattan Unlawful Dismissal Attorney David S. Rich today.
