Common Examples of Racial Bias at Work
- Excluding applicants based on race or ethnicity.
- Paying employees differently for the same work because of race.

Employers cannot make decisions based on race, ethnicity, or national origin. Castronovo & McKinney holds them accountable.
Legal Protections Against Workplace Discrimination
Federal law under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits racial discrimination by employers with 15 or more employees. Filing with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) may be required before a Title VII lawsuit.
New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination (LAD) provides strong state-level protections. Unlike Title VII, LAD allows workers to take legal action directly in court without first filing with a government agency. Castronovo & McKinney is experienced in both state and federal law and prepared to pursue cases in either forum.
