Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment on the job comes in two equally damaging forms. The first is a straightforward demand that you sleep with the boss, or implied threats that you provide sexual favors or else you'll be demoted, fired or have your hours cut or changed.
Many foreign female workers are subjected to this type of treatment because their supervisors think they can get away with it due to the female employees' immigration status. Some immigrant female employees think that they have no legal recourse. THIS IS NOT TRUE. U.S. labor law protects all workers — legal and illegal immigrant workers are protected.
A hostile work environment is also sexual harassment. This happens when an employee must suffer with lewd comments, sexual passes from co-workers, pornography that is visible in the work environment, even physical groping. Gay and lesbian workers often encounter sexual harassment of this sort.
Retaliation
If you lost your job, were scheduled for worse work hours, demoted or lost income because you filed a complaint over sexual harassment, you may be a victim of unlawful retaliation and eligible to file a claim against your employer. Contact a New Jersey or New York sexual harassment attorney at Zatuchni & Associates. You have rights in your workplace and we will protect them.
