Queens FAQs
Is a single slur enough?
One severe incident can be illegal. Multiple incidents strengthen hostile environment claims.
What if my boss says my complaint is not serious?
Employers must take reasonable steps to stop harassment. A dismissive response can support liability.
Can I be moved to a different site after I complain?
Transfers that harm pay or career prospects can be retaliation. Document changes immediately.
