Sexual Harassment In The Workplace

If you or someone you know has been victimized in the workplace, by sexual harassment, it is vital that you seek the counsel of a Red Bank attorney that is proficient at navigating the complications of these kinds of cases.

By definition, workplace sexual harassment is any unwanted sexual advance from one person to another.  Sometimes supervisors are the harassers, sometimes co-workers are.  Advances are not necessarily male upon female.  Advances can be female on male, male on male, or female on female.  Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination on the basis of gender and/or sexual orientation, and is prohibited under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination.
