A Discrimination Client:
"The attorney's at this firm exuded well deserved confidence which made me feel that I was in good hands. They knew everything about the laws affecting my case and prepared/set my expectations accordingly. They were courteous and professional and I am happy to have chosen their services." An Employment Client:
"My employer failed to pay me overtime wages and terminated me when I complained about the unpaid wages. I contacted several law firms, seeking justice for what was done to me. Not one was interested in the case. Most felt that the fight was not going to have profitable returns for their firms. I then spoke to William Phillips. He explained my legal rights both clearly and succinctly, treated me with courtesy and kept me informed along the way. His hard work and diligence resulted in a successful outcome. He exceeded my expectations by securing a better severance agreement. My thanks and appreciation go to William for his skillful handling of this matter. I knew I had found the right lawyer." SERVICES

Is a New York employer automatically liable when a boss, executive, partner, or owner harasses an employee? It depends on which law applies.

Under the NYC Human Rights Law, employers are strictly liable for harassment by someone with managerial or supervisory authority. State law and Title VII set different standards, and the same facts can lead to different results.

Partner Gregory Kirschenbaum recently addressed this in an article for JD Supra. Our latest blog covers how liability differs under each law, what happens when a consensual relationship turns sour, and what to document if a supervisor harassed you.

What if the unwanted behavior is coming from your supervisor?

A position of authority does not make unwanted sexual conduct acceptable. If a supervisor's behavior has made you uncomfortable or affected your work environment, understanding your rights may be an important first step.
