What laws protect me in cases of sexual harassment?

There are a variety of federal, state and municipal laws prohibiting sexual harassment under which you may have legal rights. The federal law known as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (often referred to simply as “Title VII”) prohibits discrimination based on, among other things, sex, which includes sexual harassment. Title VII applies to employers with fifteen (15) or more employees. The New York State Human Rights Law, which applies to employers with four (4) or more employees, also makes sexual harassment unlawful. For those who work in New York City, the NYC Human Rights Law, which also applies to employers with four (4) or more employees, also may provide additional rights and remedies for sexual harassment. Each of these sexual harassment laws offer its own set of remedies, and have its own required legal procedures. An experienced sexual harassment attorney can explain to you the rights and remedies that may be available to you as a result of the sexual harassment.
