The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination ("LAD") prohibits discrimination based on age, gender, pregnancy, race, color, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, religion, marital status and military status. That means it prohibits companies from treating employees worse because of their membership in one of those legally protected categories. Thus, for example, it is unlawful for a company to fire, demote or harass an employee because of his or her age, race, gender or another legally protected status.
The LAD also prohibits companies from retaliating against an employee because he or she complained about unlawful discrimination in the workplace. For instance, it would be illegal for your company to fire you because you complained to your supervisor or the human resources department about disability discrimination or sexual harassment.
Our attorneys represent employees who have experienced workplace discrimination through negotiations and litigation in both state and federal court. We also frequently handle employment law appeals, and have participated in numerous precedent-setting cases. To learn more, please call us at (201) 777-2250.
