From Morristown to Parsippany to Dover, Morris County is a thriving center for professionals in healthcare, finance, education, retail, and public service. But even in the most reputable workplaces, employees can still face unlawful treatment due to their identity or protected status. If you’ve been the victim of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation, you don’t have to accept it—you have rights under New Jersey law.
NJ Employment Lawyers, LLC is here to support Morris County employees who are ready to take a stand against workplace injustice. We bring years of experience and a results-driven approach to every case we handle.
Common Examples of Workplace Discrimination
Discrimination can be overt or subtle, but in either case, it can have serious consequences. You may have a legal claim if you’ve faced:
- Termination, demotion, or poor reviews after requesting medical or maternity leave
- Offensive remarks or behavior related to race, age, religion, or gender identity
- Unjust denial of promotions or training opportunities
- Retaliation for reporting unethical or discriminatory practices
- Pay disparities compared to coworkers in similar roles
These are more than just unfair—they may be violations of New Jersey employment law.
Understanding the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD)
The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) is one of the strongest workplace protection laws in the country. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of:
- Race or national origin
- Sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity
- Religion or religious practices
- Disability or perceived disability
- Age, pregnancy, or marital status
If your employer has violated NJLAD, you may be eligible to recover damages for lost wages, emotional distress, legal costs, and possibly punitive damages in severe cases.
What to Do If You’re Facing Discrimination
If you’re being mistreated at work in Morris County, take the following steps immediately:
- Document Incidents: Keep a log of discriminatory actions, including dates, times, and witnesses.
- Save Records: Retain copies of performance evaluations, emails, HR reports, and other relevant documents.
- Report Internally: File a complaint with your employer’s human resources department if it’s safe to do so.
- Speak to a Lawyer: The earlier you get legal advice, the better you can protect your rights and avoid missing important deadlines.
