In a world that is becoming more inclusive and aware of human rights, workplace discrimination still persists in many forms. Whether it’s racial bias, gender inequality, age-based exclusion, or retaliation for whistleblowing, discrimination can erode an employee’s confidence and career. In New Brunswick and across Middlesex County, NJ, employees are not alone in their fight—state and federal laws, reinforced by experienced legal advocates, are on their side.
At NJ Employment Lawyers, LLC, we focus on protecting the rights of workers who face unlawful treatment at their place of employment. If you’ve experienced workplace discrimination, it’s time to understand your legal rights and explore your options for justice.
What Constitutes Workplace Discrimination?
Workplace discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant unfavorably due to protected characteristics such as:
- Race or national origin
- Gender or sexual orientation
- Disability or medical condition
- Age (40 or older)
- Pregnancy or family status
- Religious beliefs
This can manifest in hiring practices, promotions, compensation decisions, layoffs, or creating a hostile work environment. Even subtle forms of bias or consistent exclusion from opportunities can form the basis of a legitimate legal claim.
New Jersey’s Strong Anti-Discrimination Laws
New Jersey is considered one of the most progressive states when it comes to employment protections. The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) provides broader protections than many federal statutes, covering a wide range of discriminatory behaviors and ensuring employees have the tools to seek compensation or other remedies.
In Middlesex County, including areas like New Brunswick, local courts take these matters seriously. Successful claims may result in back pay, front pay, emotional distress damages, reinstatement, or employer penalties.
What to Do If You’re Facing Discrimination
Document everything. Keep emails, performance reviews, witness accounts, or any communication that supports your claim. Then, consult with a knowledgeable employment attorney. Time is of the essence—there are strict deadlines for filing discrimination claims, both at the state level and with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
Bringing a claim can be daunting, especially when your livelihood is on the line. That’s why it’s critical to work with experienced professionals who understand how to build your case and protect your interests.
