NY Workplace Discrimination Law
Lawyers For Workplace Discrimination and Sexual Harassment Throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, & Florida
When you go to a job, you probably hope the employer will judge you on how you perform, rather than personal traits like your gender or disability or race. Unfortunately, although workplace discrimination is prohibited, some companies continue to practice it. The seasoned New York employment lawyers of Phillips & Associates handle high profile discrimination and harassment cases, along with other kinds of employment lawsuits and claims. Since our founding, we’ve recovered millions of dollars in awards and settlements.
Serving New York Communities
Federal, state, and local laws protect you against job discrimination. You may be able to bring a lawsuit for damages if you face negative treatment or decisions by your employer based on a trait protected under these laws. Federal laws include Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The state law provides broader protections to workers in many instances. Discrimination occurs if you are treated adversely by an employer based on a protected characteristic such as race or sex. Adverse employment actions include firing, layoffs, disparate pay, harassment, forced retirement, or failure to promote.
Our firm handles a wide range of workplace discrimination and harassment claims, including those involving:
- Sex or Gender
- Pregnancy
- Sexual Orientation
- Sexual Harassment
- Age
- Criminal Conviction
- Disability
- National Origin
- Race
- Religion
Illegal Workplace Discrimination
It can be difficult to know whether you’ve been discriminated against because of a protected characteristic. In most cases, managers and supervisors don’t admit that they’ve made a decision that is based on your personal characteristic if they pass you over for a promotion or fire you. They’re often trained by the company’s legal counsel to avoid making those kinds of statements. Sometimes evidence that supports your claim will be withheld by the employer.
