Brooklyn FAQs
Is a single slur enough to bring a case?
One severe incident can be actionable, and repeated smaller incidents can add up to a hostile environment. Preserve evidence.
What if the harasser is a top biller or executive?
Performance does not excuse unlawful conduct. Employers must protect workers and can be liable for failing to act.
Does remote conduct count?
Yes. Email, chat, and video meeting misconduct can violate the law.
