What to know about discrimination cases in Sands Point
New York law — state-level protections
New York law applies to employers with 4+ employees. Covers race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, military status, pregnancy, and more. Statute of limitations: 3 years for filing in court.
Federal law — file with EEOC first
Federal law covers employers with 15+ employees. You must file an EEOC charge within 300 days of the discriminatory act before suing. We handle the EEOC process and any subsequent lawsuit.
Retaliation is a separate violation
Even if the underlying discrimination claim is weak, retaliation for reporting it is independently illegal. Most successful employment cases include a retaliation count.
Whistleblower Protection
Reporting employer violations — wage theft, health/safety violations, fraud — is protected by New York's whistleblower law. 2022 amendments expanded remedies and lowered the standard for proving 'good faith reasonable belief.'
