Overtime Claims
Under New York City, State and Federal laws, certain employees are entitled to overtime pay. It is illegal for your employer to fail to pay you overtime if you are entitled to receive it. If you work over 40 hours per week, you are likely entitled to overtime pay, which is equal to time and one-half for every hour worked over 40 hours each week. Overtime applies even to those who are paid a salary, in some cases. If your employer violated laws requiring overtime pay, you may also be entitled to liquidated or double damages for overtime violations.

Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is illegal under New York City, State and Federal laws. To that end, you are entitled to work in an environment that prohibits sexual harassment. Sexual harassment can be either verbal or physical harassment, and it can consist of unwanted sexual advancements, requests for sexual favors, crude or suggestive remarks of a sexual nature, or even inappropriate touching. Sexual harassment can involve a male or female victim, and it can involve colleagues of either the same or different sex.
