Putting A Stop To Workplace Harassment

Federal law and New Jersey state laws prohibit workplace harassment in many forms. If you have been subjected to harassment at work because of a specific trait that is protected by law, your employer can be held accountable.

You have the right to a safe work environment, free from harassment and intimidation by the owners, supervisors, co-workers and even customers. You have the right to be free from all forms of harassment, including:

  • Physical harassment
  • Sexual harassment, including unwelcome touching, unwanted advances and other behavior that is severe or pervasive
  • Psychological harassment, including the spreading of false rumors, anonymous messages and even dirty looks
  • Verbal harassment, including name calling, taunting and the use of epithets or other crude language

If you are being singled out based on a characteristic like your race, gender, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, religion, nation of origin, color or sex, you may be entitled to compensation. We offer a confidential consultation to explore the merits of your case and your legal remedies.
