New York law is on your side. In writing.
These are not gray areas. Federal, state, and city law each prohibit workplace sexual harassment, and each prohibits punishing you for reporting it.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
Federal law treats sexual harassment as unlawful sex discrimination in the workplace.
New York State Human Rights Law
State protections apply to workplaces across Long Island and all of New York, with time limits that make acting early important.
New York City Human Rights Law
One of the broadest protections in the country for employees working in the five boroughs.
Retaliation is separately illegal
Being fired, demoted, or pushed out for reporting harassment is its own violation, even when it happened after you spoke up to HR.
Verdicts and settlements won for New York workers
When employers cross the line, Leeds Brown Law holds them accountable, in negotiation and at trial.

If you are asking whether it counts, that is worth a conversation.
Most people who contact us start with the same doubt: maybe it was not serious enough, maybe no one will believe them. The law recognizes more than most workers realize.
