Nooklyn adheres to the New York City Human Rights Law.
Nooklyn has three categories of company policy that all staff, agents, managers, owners, visitors and vendors must abide, namely those covering (1) EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES, (2) our obligations as HOUSING PROVIDERS, and (3) our obligations as a provider of PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION.
As described below, we investigate complaints of discrimination and/or harassment, and respond appropriately (up to and including termination) upon a finding of discrimination or harassment.
Nooklyn strongly believes in equal opportunity for all. We recruit and retain salespeople and staff without regard to race, religion, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, sex/gender, military status, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, personal credit score, arrest or conviction record, caregiver status, pregnancy, status as a victim of domestic violence, sexual violence or stalking, unemployment status or any other protected personal characteristic protected under applicable federal, state or city law.
WHAT TO DO: If you feel you’ve been the victim of discriminatory treatment or harassment of any kind, please speak with your local office manager, or any owner of Nooklyn.com with whom you feel most comfortable. No one will be subject to, and Nooklyn prohibits, any form of discipline or retaliation for reporting incidents of perceived unlawful harassment, pursuing any such claim, or cooperating with the investigation of any such report.
It is Nooklyn’s policy not to discriminate against qualified individuals with a disability with regard to any aspect of employment (such as application procedures, hiring, training, advancement and compensation). The Company is committed to complying with the American with Disabilities Act, as amended. The Company recognizes some individuals with disabilities may require reasonable accommodations.
Nooklyn will also provide its staff with reasonable accommodations for their pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, religious observances, or in supportive response to events of domestic violence, sexual violence or stalking.
WHAT TO DO: If you believe you require a reasonable accommodation, please speak with your local office manager to discuss your limitations and possible reasonable accommodations that may enable you to perform the functions or your position, make the workplace readily accessible to and usable by you, or otherwise allow you to enjoy equal benefits and privileges of employment with Nooklyn.
At Nooklyn we prohibit harassment, whether verbal (including improper teasing or joking), or physical contact, that demeans or shows hostility or aversion towards an individual because of their race, religion, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, gender, military status, age, disability, marital status, caregiver status, pregnancy, status as a victim of domestic violence, sexual violence or stalking, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state or city law, and which has the purpose or effect of (a) creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment as defined by law; or (b) unreasonably interfering with a person’s work performance; or (c) otherwise adversely affects a person’s employment opportunities. At Nooklyn we prohibit such harassment of any employee, sales agent, member, client, visitor, vendor, or third party contractor by any other employee, sales agent, member, client, visitor, vendor, or third party.
In addition to our general anti-harassment policy, in order to ensure fairness and safety in the workplace (and without regard to personal morality or political viewpoints) Nooklyn prohibits harassment of any employee, sales agent, member, client, visitor, vendor, or third party contractor based on sex or gender. For example (and not limitation) prohibited behavior includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, obscene gestures, displaying or transmitting sexually graphic magazines, photos, or pornographic material or voice or text messages, or other unwanted verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, such as uninvited touching or a sexual nature or sexually-related comments. Depending upon the circumstances, the conduct can also include sexual joking, profanity, vulgar or offensive conversation or jokes, commenting about an employee’s physical appearance, conversation about your own or someone else’s sex life, teasing or other conduct directed toward a person because of his or her gender which is sufficiently severe or pervasive to create an unprofessional and hostile working environment.
WHAT TO DO: If you feel you’ve been the victim of, or have witnessed, harassment of any kind, please speak with your local office manager, or any owner of Nooklyn.com with whom you feel most comfortable. No one will be subject to, and Nooklyn prohibits, any form of discipline or retaliation for reporting incidents of perceived unlawful harassment, pursuing any such claim, or cooperating with the investigation of any such report.
If after reporting you have not received a response within five (5) business days of what you perceived to be harassment, please immediately notify one or more of Nooklyn’s owners at the main Nooklyn office in Bushwick, in any manner you feel most comfortable. They will ensure that an investigation is immediately conducted. Every report of perceived harassment will be fully investigated and corrective action will be taken where appropriate. Violation of this policy will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination for any employee who violates this policy. In addition, Nooklyn will not allow any form of retaliation against any person who reports unwelcome conduct to management or who cooperate in the investigation of such reports in accordance with this policy.
