New York State laws addressing sexual harassment in the workplace have been evolving since 2018, when various sexual harassment claims against high-profile people prompted New York lawmakers to make changes. In August 2019, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed additional reformations which are now in effect. In particular, the definition of sexual harassment has been expanded, resulting in more types of behavior qualifying as sexual harassment, and the statute of limitations to file a sexual harassment complaint with the NYS Division of Human Rights has been increased. These amendments will likely create a more employee-friendly ruling climate, and New York employers should ensure that their policies are updated and that their employees are trained on the changes.
