Recognizing Racial Discrimination in the Workplace
Employers cannot legally make employment decisions based on race, ethnicity, or national origin. Castronovo & McKinney, LLC focuses on protecting employees’ rights and maintaining discrimination-free workplaces in Egg Harbor City and across New Jersey.
Racial Discrimination Is Illegal in New Jersey
Federal and state laws prohibit racial discrimination at work. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 bans discrimination by employers with 15 or more employees and requires filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) before suing. Our attorneys have extensive experience managing EEOC claims and securing favorable outcomes.
New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination (LAD) applies to all employers, allowing employees to pursue legal action without first filing with the Division of Civil Rights. We aim for negotiated settlements but are prepared to litigate in state court when needed.
We evaluate each case thoroughly to determine the best legal strategy for clients in Egg Harbor City and statewide.
Types of Racial Discrimination in New Jersey
- Disparate Treatment: Unequal treatment based on race, such as denying promotions to employees of color, singling out certain races for drug testing, or banning natural hairstyles associated with a race.
- Disparate Impact: Neutral policies that disproportionately affect certain racial groups, like a blanket ban on hiring individuals with any criminal record, which may unfairly impact black applicants unless justified by job necessity.
Castronovo & McKinney, LLC assists employees in Egg Harbor City who experience either form of discrimination, enforcing federal and state laws to secure fair workplace treatment.
