Discrimination has no place in any workplace, yet it remains a significant issue for many employees in Atlantic County and throughout New Jersey. Whether based on race, gender, age, religion, disability, or sexual orientation, discriminatory practices can limit opportunities, create hostile work environments, and violate your rights as an employee.
NJ Employment Lawyers, LLC is committed to standing with workers who are mistreated, silenced, or retaliated against. If you’ve faced workplace discrimination, you are not alone—and legal help is available.
Understanding Your Rights Under New Jersey Law
New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) is one of the most protective anti-discrimination laws in the country. It applies to all employers in the state, regardless of size, and provides workers with legal recourse when they are subjected to unfair treatment based on protected characteristics such as:
- Race or national origin
- Gender or sexual orientation
- Religion or creed
- Age (40 and over)
- Disability or perceived disability
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Discrimination may manifest in various ways, including biased hiring practices, denial of promotions, unjust discipline, or a hostile work environment filled with inappropriate comments or exclusion.
Types of Discrimination We Commonly Handle
At NJ Employment Lawyers, LLC, we advocate for clients who experience:
- Unequal pay for similar work
- Harassment or derogatory comments in the workplace
- Wrongful termination based on a protected status
- Retaliation after filing a discrimination complaint
- Denial of reasonable accommodations for disabilities or religious practices
Each of these actions is potentially unlawful—and you have every right to take a stand.
What You Should Do If You’re Facing Discrimination
- Document Everything: Keep records of incidents, communications, performance reviews, and any evidence that supports your claim.
- Use Internal Reporting Channels: File a complaint with HR or your supervisor in writing. Keep a copy for your records.
- Consult an Employment Attorney: Legal counsel can help you understand your rights and file a formal claim if necessary.
It’s important to act quickly—employment law claims often have strict filing deadlines.
