Anti-Discrimination Laws in Atlantic City, NJ
Atlantic City enforces strong protections against gender and sex discrimination, reflecting federal laws and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD). A pivotal 2020 U.S. Supreme Court ruling affirmed that gender identity discrimination is illegal under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
In 2006, New Jersey legislators amended the NJLAD to explicitly protect individuals from discrimination based on gender identity or expression. These protections apply to all employers in Atlantic City, regardless of size, unlike the broader scope of Title VII, which covers only larger employers.
Recognizing Gender Identity Discrimination
Gender identity discrimination in the workplace can be subtle and varied. It can include refusal to hire, termination, or denial of promotions based on gender identity or expression. Harassment, creating hostile work environments through offensive conduct or comments, is also unlawful under federal and state law.
