How does New Jersey Law Prohibit Sexual Harassment?

The policies should at least include: contact information for the reporting of sexual harassment incidents, an outline of procedures to be followed in filing a claim, and the remedies available when a claim successfully proven.

There are also federal and New Jersey laws that have created agencies to handle sexual harassment claims.
