Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as workplace discrimination in New York?
New York law prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, marital status, military status, and other protected characteristics. This includes discrimination in hiring, firing, pay, promotions, and working conditions.
How long do I have to file an employment discrimination claim?
In New York, you generally have 3 years to file a discrimination claim with the state Division of Human Rights, or 300 days to file with the EEOC for federal claims. However, deadlines can vary based on the type of claim. Contact us promptly to protect your rights.
Can I sue my employer for wrongful termination?
New York is an at-will employment state, but you may have a wrongful termination claim if you were fired for discriminatory reasons, in retaliation for protected activity, in violation of a contract, or for other illegal reasons. Our attorneys can evaluate whether you have a case.
