That would probably be a New Mexico case, so post your question under NM, not NY. You will need to state the years of abuse and when you turned 18.

Are you working off the clock? Unpaid overtime for answering calls, texts, emails? He might owe you for up to 6 years of unpaid wages. You could insist on being paid for all that time and firing you for that would be retaliation.
Have you considered telling him that you find his behavior... Read more »

The short answer is yes. Usually, its a parent, sibling or partner that was assaulted and later presents themselves as a surety or just wants to resume contact. What you need to check to see if there are any court orders prohibiting the offender from contact. Sometimes those are stand alone court... Read more »

Depending on the circumstances, this could be a complicated issue. If they are trying to use the recordings to blackmail you, extort you, or threaten you, it could be a few different crimes (although the legislature passed the revenge porn law, I do not believe it’s been signed into law). If you... Read more »

Sexual harassment includes all unwelcome sexual advances or behaviors in the workplace, even when you are not yet an employee of that company. If you were sexually harassed or discriminated against because of your gender during a job interview, it may or may not be severe enough to file a claim.... Read more »

Isolated or scattered remarks even if unwelcome are almost never severe.
Harassment must be severe or pervasive meaning it's recurring. Of course your employer might have a dating policy and violating that is at your own risk.
You might want to run it by HR. I have heard of... Read more »
supervisor switched positions within the company and now it's been three years. Am I too late to file?
answered on Nov 26, 2018
Employees need to report harassment. Of course now the New York State Law protects employees who are sole employees so unwelcome conduct by just the owner of a company would be covered.
You must file charges with the EEOC within 300 days of the last discriminatory action or 1 year to file a... Read more »
sue my employer directly and avoid pre-litigation mediation at my workplace?
answered on Nov 5, 2018
Check your employee handbook. There are usually alternatives i.e. your manager.
If there is no handbook seek an employment lawyer.
We dont file lawsuits immediately unless the client wants to litigate. Most dont when they realize what that entails.
answered on Nov 1, 2018
You can file a report with the police and potentially get a restraining order and/or bring criminal charges against the individual.
answered on Oct 25, 2018
If there is a reasonable belief that physical harm may occur the police will interview and may refer it to a judge for an order of protection.
You should first discuss this with human resources. If human resources determined that you have taken some action against company policy it could... Read more »
-- is this considered sexual harassment?
answered on Sep 26, 2018
Do they work together? As co-workers or supervisor and subordinate that would certainly be unlawful.
Otherwise, it might be defamation of character, libel, or a tort. Call civil litigation lawyers to discuss if the matter is not employment related.
answered on Sep 23, 2018
Employers have a responsibility to prevent sexual harassment. A coworker, a supervisor in another area of the company, or even a non-employee, like a vendor, can be the perpetrator. You can read more about the laws that protect you from sexual harassment at... Read more »
