Aggressive Advocacy in Sexual Harassment Claims throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut

Though great strides have been made to make employers aware of the prevalence and the devastating consequences of sexual harassment in the workplace, it’s still a serious problem, in New York and across the country. People in positions of power still seek sexual favors in exchange for workplace benefits or threaten/punish workers who won’t submit to sexual advances. Bosses and supervisors still encourage, condone or intentionally ignore workplace environments where sexual innuendo and impropriety are rampant.

• Quid pro quo sexual harassment—From the Latin phrase meaning “this for that,” quid pro quo sexual harassment involves an attempted exchange, either of sexual favors for a work-related benefit or the promise of or use of work-related punishment for failure to submit to sexual advances
• The creation of a hostile environment based on sex—This involves the creation of a work environment where sex, sexual innuendo and sexual themes are either pervasive or sufficiently severe to be perceived by a reasonable person as hostile and abusive. It typically involves encouraging, condoning, or allowing jokes, pictures, objects, emails and other inappropriate references to sex or sexual topics.
