Yes so if a person is subjected to a hostile work environment, based on any discrimination based on race, ethnicity, skin color, national origin, disability, age or gender and a few others, then that person has a claim against the company if he or she put the company on notice of the discrimination and the company failed to take steps to stop it. If a direct supervisor was involved in perpetrating the discriminatory conduct, then that emoloyee does not have to put the company on notice. The company would be strictly liable if that person suffers an adverse employment decision. You should discuss your case in a private phone conference with counsel here in the state of Florida about possible representation.
