New York State has created a toll-free confidential hotline for complaints of workplace sexual harassment.
The new law also provides free legal assistance to individuals who contact the hotline. The New York State Division of Human Rights intends to recruit experienced attorneys acting in a pro bono capacity to provide legal advice to complainants.
Once the hotline is established, New York employers will be required to include information about the hotline in any materials they are required to post or provide to employees regarding sexual harassment.
The law regarding the hotline goes into effect on July 14, 2022. For more information about the hotline, click here.
