Employment Discrimination Violates New Jersey and New York Law
Discrimination at work is illegal in both New Jersey and New York. It is a violation of your employment law rights if your company has fired, demoted, harassed, or taken another adverse employment action against you because you are a member of a legally protected group.
What Forms of Discrimination Are Illegal?
The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD), the New York Human Rights Law (NYHRL), and the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL) prohibit many different forms of discrimination and harassment. For example, New Jersey and New York law prohibit the following forms of employment discrimination:
- Age Discrimination
- Color Discrimination

- Gender and Sex Discrimination
- Marital Status Discrimination

- Pregnancy Discrimination
