Relates to unlawful discriminatory practices based upon delays in reporting workplace sexual harassment
This bill (A 7187, "No Right Time Act") prevents employers from penalizing employees who delay reporting workplace sexual harassment. It prohibits discrimination against workers for not reporting harassment immediately and extends the filing deadline for claims. Employees can now file lawsuits within three years of reporting to their employer or three years after leaving the job, whichever is later. The law directly affects workers who experience sexual harassment and employers who might have used delayed reporting as grounds for retaliation.
