Federal, New York State, and New York City law make it illegal for an employer to treat you worse because of who you are. The New York City Human Rights Law is one of the broadest in the country, and it often protects workers when other laws fall short.
You may have a claim if you were:
Fired, demoted, or passed over because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, or another protected trait.
Denied a reasonable accommodation for a disability, pregnancy, or religious practice.
Paid or disciplined differently than coworkers outside your group.
Subjected to slurs, jokes, or comments about a protected trait.
We handle claims at the EEOC, the NYS Division of Human Rights, the NYC Commission on Human Rights, and in state and federal court.
