FAQs

Get answers to frequently asked questions about workplace disputes, and empower yourself with the knowledge to successfully navigate them.

  • It is a violation of federal, state, and local law for an employer to discriminate against you based on your protected characteristics like race, color, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, or pregnancy. Discrimination can occur in hiring, firing, promotions, compensation, conditions of employment, or other employment and workplace-related decisions. 

    New York State and New York City laws provide expansive protections for employees, such that discrimination is unlawful where an employee has been treated “less well” than an employee who does not share the same protected characteristic.

  • A reasonable accommodation is an adjustment to your job or workplace that enables you to perform your duties without imposing significant difficulty or expense on your employer. You may request such an adjustment to accommodate your disability, pregnancy-related condition, lactation, religion, or status as victim of domestic violence, sexual violence, or stalking. 

    Reasonable accommodations may include modified work schedules, remote work options, ergonomic equipment, or temporary leave.

  • Not if you meet the eligibility requirements (working for a covered employer for at least 12 months and logging 1,250 hours in the past year). If your employer denies valid FMLA leave or retaliates against you for taking it, you may have a claim.
