Free Case Review
New Jersey harassment law recognizes two types of sexual harassment:
Hostile work environment harassment occurs when a person in your chain of employment subjects you to pervasive and unwelcome sexual conduct that interferes with your ability to function and feel safe at work.
Quid pro quo sexual harassment occurs when an employer sexually harasses you and conditions your continued employment on granting a requested sexual favor. This may also come under the term of employment discrimination.
Reporting And Documenting Offensive Behaviors
You have a duty to report sexual harassment to your employer. Failure to register a formal complaint can nullify your claim or make it very hard to prevail because management can claim they had no knowledge and no opportunity to rectify the harassment. Get started by calling us now or sending us a message.
