In the vibrant and diverse city of New York, the need for legal expertise in handling such claims is more crucial than ever. At Mark David Shirian P.C. we understand the unique challenges and complexities that surround sexual harassment cases.

Understanding Sexual Harassment in New York

Sexual harassment is not limited to any one industry, profession, or location. In New York, as in many other states, it is defined as unwanted advances, comments, or conduct of a sexual nature that create a hostile or intimidating work environment. While this definition may seem straightforward, each case is unique and often involves nuances that require careful examination.

New York's Laws and Regulations

New York has some of the most comprehensive laws and regulations in place to combat sexual harassment in the workplace. The state's legal framework provides protection to employees and extends to both public and private sectors.

Some key laws and regulations include:

New York State Human Rights Law: This law prohibits sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations.
New York City Human Rights Law: NYC has its own human rights law, which provides additional protection and remedies to individuals facing sexual harassment within the city limits.
Mandatory Anti-Harassment Training: In 2018, New York State enacted a law mandating that all employers provide annual anti-harassment training to their employees.
Reporting Requirements: Employers are required to have clear reporting mechanisms in place for employees to file complaints, and they must investigate these complaints promptly.
