Examples of sexual harassment

New Jersey and federal civil rights laws prohibit sexual harassment. This form of sex discrimination can include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual relations in return for job benefits, retaliation when sexual advances are refused, or failing to correct a hostile work environment. Our law firm has defended against and pursued claims involving such issues. Specific situations include:

• Requesting sexual relations in return for a promotion, a better work assignment or a better office
• Demoting or assigning an employee to an undesirable shift because sexual requests were refused or because the employee filed a discrimination claim
• Touching and repeating suggestive language designed to make the victim uncomfortable
• Permitting the continuation of a hostile work environment that can include sexual taunts and jokes, unwanted touching and offensive, sexually suggestive pictures in work areas or on computers
