Defining Sexual Harassment In New Jersey

One of the most pervasive forms of sex-based discrimination is sexual harassment. New Jersey identifies two forms of sexual harassment—hostile work environment harassment, and quid pro quo harassment.

Hostile work environment harassment can include:

  • Unwanted romantic or sexual advances
  • Unwanted physical contact, including groping
  • Sexual jokes or comments
  • Describing sex acts
  • Viewing or displaying pornography at work

Quid pro quo harassment involves:

  • Requesting sexual favors in exchange for advancement

Whichever form of harassment you experienced, Escandon, Fernicola, Anderson, Covelli & McPherson can help you build your case and seek compensation for your damages.
