Recognizing Color Discrimination in Hamilton Township Workplaces

Rejecting a candidate solely due to their race or ethnic background during the hiring process Providing unequal pay or inferior employment terms based on race Withholding training and advancement opportunities from certain employees based on their race Enduring racial slurs, offensive jokes, remarks, or displays from supervisors, colleagues, vendors, or clients Employers are prohibited from making employment decisions or implementing adverse actions against employees based on race, ethnicity, or national origin. Our firm stands firm in its dedication to combatting racial discrimination in all its guises.
Illegal Color Discrimination in Hamilton Township Workplaces
Color Discrimination in employment is strictly prohibited under both federal and state laws. Specifically, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) prohibits discrimination based on race, ethnicity, national origin, and other protected characteristics.
It’s crucial to understand that Title VII applies to employers with 15 or more employees, and filing a complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is typically required before initiating a lawsuit. Our attorneys excel in navigating administrative complaints before the EEOC and have a proven track record of securing favorable settlements for our clients.
Simultaneously, we assist victims of racial discrimination in enforcing their rights under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD), which extends to all employers in the state. LAD mandates that employers refrain from making decisions based on race and offers robust legal remedies to aggrieved employees.
Unlike Title VII, LAD does not mandate filing a racial discrimination complaint with the state Division of Civil Rights prior to pursuing litigation. While we prioritize achieving negotiated settlements in employment disputes, we are fully prepared to litigate in state court to ensure the most favorable outcome. Count on our seasoned racial discrimination attorneys to carefully evaluate your case and determine the optimal legal strategy.
