Employment Law
Your NJ Sexual Harassment and Hostile Work Environment Team
No one wants to believe they will become a victim of sexual harassment. Unfortunately, in New Jersey, sexual harassment is more common than we would like to think. At Burns & Associates, we are experienced New Jersey sexual harassment attorneys.
There are two major categories of New Jersey sexual harassment, Quid pro quo sexual harassment, where the employer conditions decisions on satisfaction of a sexual demand; and hostile-work environment sexual harassment, in which an employer subjects an employee in his/her work environment to unwelcome verbal or physical sexual behavior, or other abusive behavior directed disproportionately against women, that is either severe or pervasive. If you have been harassed, you should get legal help. Please contact us right away for guidance.

Discriminatory practices include bias in hiring, promotion, job assignment, termination, compensation, and various types of harassment. When your livelihood is at stake, it may be difficult to initiate a claim against your employer. If your employer is violating the law and you are being taken advantage of, you need the assistance of an experienced New Jersey employment attorney.
At Burns & Associates, our employment attorneys always work closely with our clients to understand their needs and their workplace situation and to help them move toward a future over which they have control. Please contact us to discuss your questions and to find out what we can do to help you.
