Mahwah, NJ, and Tarrytown, NY, Workplace Discrimination Attorneys

Harassing behavior in your workplace, or discrimination in relation to a job application, due to your actual or perceived sexual orientation, whether you are a heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual or asexual, is prohibited under New Jersey and New York state law. Under some circumstances, federal law may also apply. Federal law prohibiting employment discrimination is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Prohibited conduct includes bias due to your sexual orientation in employment practices such as hiring, promotions and any other aspect of employment. Harassment or a hostile work environment caused by offensive comments, jokes or actions is also prohibited. Retaliation such as demotion or termination for complaining about this kind of behavior is also illegal.
