What is Sexual Harassment?
Sexual harassment is unwelcome behavior of a sexual nature. Although sexual harassment can come in a wide variety of specific forms, sexual harassment cases generally fit into one of two broad legal categories:
- Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment: Quid pro quo sexual harassment occurs when an employee is pressured into giving sexual favors/accepting sexual advances in exchange for a benefit or to avoid punishment.
- Hostile Work Environment Sexual Harassment: Hostile work environment sexual harassment occurs when an employee has been made to feel unsafe or unwelcome in the workplace due to sexual-related conduct. To constitute a hostile work environment under the law, the harassing behavior must be “severe or pervasive.”
Know Your Rights: You Deserve a Safe Workplace
You should never be forced to endure harassment by a business owner, supervisor, co-worker, or customer. Federal, state, and local laws protect employees in New York City against sexual harassment in the workplace. Depending on your circumstances, your legal rights may have been violated under:
- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964;
- New York State Human Rights Law; and/or
- The NYC Human Rights Law.
Notably, employers are strictly prohibited from taking any adverse action against employees who report sexual harassment internally or file a formal sexual harassment complaint. If you were subject to unlawful retaliation, contact an experienced NYC employment attorney right away.
