New York Sexual Harassment Claims
Unfortunately, even though it is illegal, many employees experience workplace sexual harassment. Unwelcome conduct or behavior that is sexual that creates an offensive, intimidating, and/or “hostile work environment” is workplace sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment is illegal, and it can include verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct from supervisors, co-workers, clients, or executives. Unlawful harassment can happen in any work setting and also in any industry.
Of note, there are two different kinds of workplace sexual harassment claims:
Quid pro quo. This means getting something for something, and it usually means someone makes an employment decision based on whether an employee agrees to sexual advances. A common example is a boss agreeing to a promotion for an employee who is willing to sleep with them, which would be considered illegal quid pro quo harassment.
“Hostile work environment.” When unwelcome sexual harassment permeates the whole work environment, it may be a “hostile work environment,” especially if the conduct is intimidating or abusive.
A hostile work environment is a legal claim, not a standalone law. This means it’s a type of discrimination claim proven under existing laws. If you’re facing severe, pervasive harassment based on protected traits like race, gender, etc. that creates an abusive atmosphere, you should consider taking legal action. Your attorney can help build a compelling case with specific proof that the conduct is unwelcome and alters your work conditions.
Far too many people experience sexual harassment, and in fact, statistics show one American is sexually assaulted every 74 seconds. In New York, one in five New York State residents self-reported experiencing workplace sexual harassment. This is a significant amount of sexual assault and workplace sexual harassment.
