New Mexico Harassment Lawyer
Are you being harassed at work?
Workplace harassment is any form of physical or verbal conduct that is offensive or shows hostility toward a person because of their race, color, sex, religion, national origin, physical disability, mental disability and/or age. Under the state's Human Rights Act, workplace discrimination is illegal, including discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in companies with more than 15 people. Types of harassment can include:
- Threats
- Insults
- Name calling
- Unwanted comments and jokes
- Stereotyping
An employee is also protected against harassment involving physical abuse, offensive gestures, the display of derogatory pictures and other demeaning treatment.
