If you’re challenged by domestic violence in your personal life, you are protected from job discrimination in your professional life if you work anywhere in New York State. It’s illegal for your company to treat you worse or discriminate against you because of DV or stalking behavior of any kind, and if you have any physical or emotional condition as a result of the DV, your employer must “reasonably accommodate” (be flexible) and treat you no differently than it would any other employee with a temporary disability. If you work in NYC (or Westchester), the law goes even further, requiring your employer to accommodate your DV situation even if you aren’t hurt or disabled. Make sure your company knows about your DV challenges, so put it writing to so you can prove it later. Contact Deborah at 212-766-9100 or 845.201.0200 if you need further guidance or just want chat in confidence about your related situation.
