QUESTION
What is my legal standing regarding a hostile work environment?
Asked on Apr 14th, 2014 on Labor and Employment - New York
More details to this question:
I started working for the company 8 months ago. Working environment was very hostile not just toward me but towards many others. Then I became the target and my race became an issue. I was told I'm a terrorist. Many terrorist jokes were made on me. I was physically attacked yet management couldn't do anything. My car was vandalized and notes were written to me calling me names and left in my car. HR always said they are investigating but can't have proof.

You need to file a claim for worker's compensation benefits that cover temporary disability benefits , ongoing medical treatment and a settlement for permanent disability and future medical care.

Go see an attorney that handles discrimination cases. I do not.

You should talk with a local lawyer who specializes in workplace discrimination and wrongful termination cases. It sounds like you would probably have a case under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act.

You should contact the local police regarding the vandalism and assault on you. You should also file a race discrimination complaint on your own or contact an attorney.

The legal standard under federal and state law is that he harassment must be severe or pervasive. It is measured from both an objective and subjective standard. Under New York City Law, the standard is lower and severe or pervasive is merely a measure of damages.
