What Counts as Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Sexual harassment includes unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that affects your job, creates a hostile work environment, or results in an adverse employment decision.
Two main forms of harassment are:
- Quid Pro Quo Harassment – A supervisor or manager demands sexual favors in exchange for promotions, raises, or continued employment.
- Hostile Work Environment – Ongoing or severe behavior—like crude jokes, sexual comments, inappropriate touching, or displaying explicit material—that makes the workplace intimidating or offensive.
It’s important to know that harassment can come from supervisors, co-workers, customers, or even non-employees, and it’s illegal regardless of your gender, orientation, or position.
Zero Tolerance
Your Rights Under New York’s Strong Anti-Harassment Laws
New York and New York City have some of the strongest anti-harassment protections in the country.
- You don’t need to prove “severe and pervasive” conduct under NYC law—a single incident can be enough if it’s serious.
- You’re protected from harassment whether you’re a full-time employee, part-time worker, contractor, or intern.
- Retaliation for reporting harassment is illegal. If your hours are cut, you’re demoted, or you’re fired after speaking up, you may also have a wrongful termination or retaliation claim.

FREQUENTLY ASKED questions
Sexual Harassment FAQ
Do I have to quit my job to take legal action?
No. You can pursue a claim while still employed. If the harassment forces you to resign, that may be considered “constructive discharge,” which is also actionable.
What if I don’t have direct proof?
Many cases are built on testimony, patterns of behavior, and witness statements. Your word matters, and we know how to gather supporting evidence.
Can I talk to a lawyer without alerting my employer?
Yes. All consultations are confidential, and we only take action with your permission.
