HARRASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION

Employers are required by law to provide a safe work environment that is free of harassment, hostility or discrimination.

Workers are protected against discrimination and retaliation by Title VII of the Federal Civil Rights Act, the New York State Human Rights Law, and the New York City Human Rights Law. These laws prohibit discrimination in employment on the basis of age, sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and a number of other protected categories.
