Sexual Harassment at Work in Suffolk County
Suffolk County workers are protected from unwanted sexual conduct, explicit messages, and coercion tied to employment. If you reported harassment and nothing changed, or if retaliation followed, Leeds Brown Law is ready to help.
Hostile Environment and Quid Pro Quo
- Hostile environment: repeated comments, jokes, or images that create intimidation or humiliation.
- Quid pro quo: a supervisor ties promotions, hours, or job security to acceptance of sexual conduct.
Any negative action after you object can be retaliation, including schedule cuts, demotion, undesirable transfers, or sudden discipline.
How to Document Your Case
- Keep a dated log of incidents and people present
- Save texts, emails, and chat logs in original format
- Report in writing and keep copies of your complaints
- Note changes in reviews, schedules, or duties after you report

Suffolk County FAQs
Is one incident enough?
One severe incident can be actionable. Repeated conduct can also create a hostile environment.
Can my employer require counseling instead of action?
Employers must address the conduct. Counseling alone does not cure liability if harassment continues.
What if the harasser is a client?
Employers must take steps to protect you from known third party harassment.
