Sexual harassment in the workplace is one of the most common types of workplace discrimination.  Sexual harassment in the workplace violates the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, N.J.S.A. 10:5-1-49. An employer may be liable under several different theories of sexual harassment.  The discrimination attorneys at the Ginarte Law Firm have the knowledge and experience to handle your sexual harassment claim.

One type of sexual harassment is known as hostile work environment.  Under the hostile work environment theory, sexual harassment occurs when there is unwelcome conduct that is motivated by sex and that is severe and pervasive.  The conduct must alter the terms and conditions of employment and create a hostile or intimidating work environment.  See Lehmann v. Toys R Us, Inc. 132 N.J. 587 (1993).
