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.
