Some labor laws tend to vary depending on the state where you are located; however, illegal harassment is an offensive conduct that you are not obligated to tolerate and no employer should require you to endure this type of mistreatment as a condition for working anywhere in the country. New York Federal Law prohibits harassment in the workplace due to your skin color, religion, sex, pregnancy, nationality, age, or disability.These laws apply to employers with more than 15 workers, with the exception of age harassment cases, which require 20 employees.
