Under New York law, must harassing conduct be severe or pervasive to be illegal?

A. No, it only needs to rise above petty slights or trivial inconveniences

B. Yes, New York uses the same severe-or-pervasive standard as federal law

C. Yes, but only for claims involving a supervisor

D. No, any single unwelcome comment is automatically a violation regardless of context

Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. No, it only needs to rise above petty slights or trivial inconveniences

B: New York deliberately set a lower bar than the federal severe-or-pervasive standard.
C: The standard is not limited to supervisor conduct; coworkers, clients, and others can be harassers.
D: Context still matters. The test is whether conduct rises above petty slights or trivial inconveniences, not an automatic rule for any comment.

From whose standpoint does New York law judge whether conduct is a petty slight or a trivial inconvenience versus unlawful harassment?

A. A reasonable victim of discrimination with the same protected characteristics

B. The accused employee, based on what they intended

C. A generic reasonable person with no reference to the situation

D. Company management, based on whether the conduct disrupted business operations

Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. A reasonable victim of discrimination with the same protected characteristics

B: Intent is explicitly stated not to be a defense; the impact on the person, not the intent behind it, is what counts.
C: The standard is specifically tied to a victim with the same protected characteristics, not a characteristic-free reasonable person.
D: Business disruption is not the test the policy describes.

An employee makes an offensive joke about a coworker's gender identity and later says they were "just joking" and meant no harm. Under the Model Policy, does that intent excuse the conduct?

A. No, the intent behind the behavior does not neutralize a harassment claim; the impact on the person matters

B. Yes, a stated joking intent is a complete defense to any harassment claim

C. Yes, but only if the coworker laughed at the time

D. No, but only if the joke was made in front of a supervisor

Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. No, the intent behind the behavior does not neutralize a harassment claim; the impact on the person matters

B: The policy explicitly rejects intent as a defense.
C: A contemporaneous reaction is not the legal test described in the policy.
D: Whether a supervisor witnessed it is not a condition for the impact-based standard to apply.
