What Does Workplace Discrimination Look Like?
Discrimination can be subtle or overt—but both are illegal under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD). The law protects workers from unfair treatment based on a wide range of characteristics, including:
- Race or national origin
- Gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation
- Religion or creed
- Age (18 and older)
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Disability or perceived disability
- Marital or family status
- Veteran or military status
Examples of discrimination include being passed over for promotions, denied accommodations, harassed, demoted, or fired for discriminatory reasons.
