What Laws Protect Against Employment Discrimination?

The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) provides robust protections against workplace discrimination based on various factors such as race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and disability.

The Civil Rights Act, the ADA, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) protect employees federally. These laws ensure fair treatment in hiring, promotion, job assignment, termination, and other aspects of employment.

Who is Protected by the NJLAD?

This comprehensive protection ensures fair treatment for all employees in the workplace.
