Plaintiff, female, is a former employee of Defendants – – a New York non-profit corporation that provides various services to adults with developmental disabilities and mental health challenges in Suffolk County, New York, and its Executive Director who was Plaintiff’s direct supervisor – – and she brings this action to seek redress for Defendants’ sex discrimination and retaliation taken against her during her employment. Specifically, as detailed herein, Defendants discriminated against Plaintiff due to her sex by subjecting her to a hostile work environment, and then retaliated against her for complaining about that discrimination by terminating her employment, all in violation of Title VII with respect to Rise, and the New York State Human Rights Law as to both Defendants.
