Employment Discrimination

Central New Jersey Employment Discrimination Lawyer

Federal anti-discrimination laws, including Title VII, protect employees from unfair treatment and discrimination based on race, age, gender, disability, religion and national origin. New Jersey’s anti-discrimination laws expand these protections even further to protect same-gender relationships and transgender individuals. Despite these safeguards, however, many employers continue to base employment decisions on unlawful factors or tolerate hostile work environments that foster discrimination.

At Kingston Law Group, our Mercer County employment discrimination attorneys protect the civil rights of employees and help them hold employers accountable for discriminatory behavior and policies. send us an email or call us to arrange a consultation about your employment discrimination case.

What Constitutes Discrimination?

Not every unfair behavior on the part of an employer is subject to legal action, but employment discrimination that causes economic loss or emotional distress to an employee or job applicant may be subject to a claim against the employer for damages and legal fees. Examples of violations of civil rights in the employment sector include:

Racial discrimination, sex discrimination, age discrimination or discrimination against other protected classes in hiring, firing or promoting employees
Discrimination in opportunities for training and enrichment
Discrimination in recruitment, testing and assignment
Discrimination in pay, retirement plans, disability leave and use of company facilities
Reverse discrimination and illegal affirmative action that favors women and minorities over white males
Racial or sexual harassment, including tolerance of a hostile work environment or workplace bullying as demonstrated by verbal, graphic and written messages that are offensive or intimidating
Discrimination against GLBT individuals
Religious discrimination
