Joshua P.Frank - Lawyer / Attorney in Albany, NY

About Joshua P.Frank

Joshua Paul Frank is a tenacious employment law attorney at the New York firm of Phillips & Associates. He fights for employee rights in cases involving discrimination and harassment, recognizing the toll that this unlawful conduct can take on an individual’s morale and wellbeing. Like his colleagues, he believes that everyone has a right to equal opportunities in the workplace. Mr. Frank pursues remedies for employees whose rights have been violated under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other federal and state laws. Title VII protects workers against discrimination and harassment based on their race, color, national origin, gender, or religion. An employer may not discriminate on the basis of these protected characteristics with regard to any aspect of employment, including disciplining, providing benefits, recruiting, hiring, promoting, transferring, or terminating an employee. New York State and New York City human rights laws provide further protections for workers. Not all forms of wrongful conduct are obvious. Indirect discrimination can be harder to detect, but it still can create a hostile work environment when a pattern of unlawful acts accumulate over time. Some apparently neutral job policies also have a disproportionate effect on members of protected groups. For example, a practice of only hiring applicants of a certain size or strength may have an adverse impact on women.
