Sexual harassment is any persistent conduct that is sexist, sexual, or sexually motivated and creates a hostile, intimidating, or abusive work environment. Under New Jersey harassment law, there are two types of sexual harassment:

Hostile Work Environment: Sexual harassment of this type occurs when an employer subjects you to a pervasive and unwelcome sexual conduct.
Quid Pro Quo: This form of sexual harassment occurs when an employer sexually harasses you and conditions your employment on granting a requested sexual favor. It may also come under the term discrimination.

Over the past sixteen years, our New Jersey employment firm has represented countless clients in sexual harassment cases against their employers. Have you been sexually harassed at work? Has your boss asked for sexual favors and threatened termination if you refused? Has your boss treated you differently than other male employees? Has your employer subjected you to demeaning and sexually motivated tasks? Has an employer based a job promotion or pay raise on a sexual favor? If you said yes to any of these questions, you may have a valid sexual harassment claim.

Other examples of workplace sexual harassment include:

Unwanted touching
Repeated requests for dates
Displaying of sexually suggestive images or objects
Sexual jokes or gestures
Transmission of sexually charged e-mails

Sexual harassment can also occur because of actual or perceived sexual or gender orientation, and can even occur between members of the same sex. No one needs to endure sexually specific or gender specific hostility, harassment or abuse.
