Understanding The Forms Of Sexual Harassment In The Workplace
In New York and under United States federal law, sexual harassment in the workplace is prohibited. Most commonly, sexual harassment occurs when an employer or manager offers to trade sexual favors for an employment benefit or someone creates a hostile work environment. New York state law also prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation, age, race, gender and other characteristics. Sexual harassment is considered a form of gender discrimination under these laws.
Sexual harassment can manifest in many ways, including:
- Unwanted sexual advances
- Requests for sexual favors
- Lewd comments or jokes
- Inappropriate touching
- Displaying sexually explicit materials
With extensive experience in employment law and workplace discrimination cases, attorney Luwick Francois advocates zealously to hold employers accountable for sexual harassment. Your available legal remedies may include compensation for emotional distress, compensation for medical bills or counseling services and punitive damages against those responsible. If you lost your job or a promotion due to sexual harassment, you may also seek reinstatement, lost wages or a promotion.
