Recognizing HIV/AIDS Discrimination at Work
- Differential Treatment: Unequal job assignments, pay, or promotions compared to similarly qualified colleagues.
- Harassment: Verbal or physical abuse, derogatory remarks, or hostile behavior based on HIV/AIDS status.
- Denial of Accommodation: Employers must provide reasonable accommodations; failure to do so is discriminatory.
- Retaliation: Punitive actions like demotion or firing for reporting discrimination or requesting accommodations.
- Unlawful Termination: Firing based solely on HIV/AIDS status or related health conditions.
Identifying these signs is crucial to addressing discrimination effectively.
Legal Protections in Corbin City, NJ
Federal law, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), protects employees with HIV/AIDS by prohibiting discrimination based on disability. New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) offers stronger safeguards by explicitly protecting individuals with HIV/AIDS.
NJLAD forbids discrimination in all employment aspects—hiring, firing, promotions—and covers harassment and retaliation related to HIV/AIDS status. These protections apply across New Jersey, including Corbin City.
Legal Remedies for HIV/AIDS Discrimination
If you’ve experienced discrimination, you may be entitled to:
- Back pay for lost wages and benefits
- Front pay to compensate for future income loss
- Compensatory damages for emotional distress
- Punitive damages for willful misconduct
Court orders may also require reinstatement or implementation of anti-discrimination policies.
Expert legal guidance is essential to secure these remedies. Castronovo & McKinney, LLC has the expertise to navigate state and federal laws and to fight aggressively for your rights.
