Understanding Workplace Discrimination in New Jersey

Discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or applicant unfavorably because of a legally protected trait. Under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD), protected characteristics include:

• Race or ethnicity
• Gender or sexual orientation
• Gender identity or expression
• Age (40+)
• Religion or creed
• Disability or perceived disability
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Marital or civil union status
• Military or veteran status
• National origin

Discrimination can appear in hiring, promotions, job assignments, pay disparities, harassment, and wrongful termination. Even subtle bias or repeated microaggressions can contribute to a hostile work environment.

Common Signs of Discrimination in the Workplace

You may be experiencing discrimination if you notice:

• Being consistently passed over for promotions despite strong qualifications
• Offensive jokes, slurs, or comments about your identity
• Unequal expectations or unfair treatment
• Harsher disciplinary actions compared to coworkers
• Retaliation after reporting workplace misconduct

Because every workplace situation is unique, consulting an employment lawyer is the best way to understand whether your experience qualifies as illegal discrimination.
