Disability Discrimination and Failure to Accommodate
New Jersey law requires employers to engage in a good-faith interactive process and provide reasonable accommodations when appropriate. When employers refuse, delay, or retaliate against employees for requesting accommodations, legal remedies may be available.
Time Limits for Filing a Discrimination Claim
Strict deadlines apply to discrimination claims, so it is imperative that you take action as quickly as possible. In many cases, employees have two years to file a lawsuit under NJLAD, though shorter deadlines may apply depending on the employer or circumstances. Acting promptly helps protect your rights.
