Examples of Racial Discrimination in the Workplace
Racial discrimination can take many forms. Some common examples include:
- Discriminating against candidates during the hiring process based on race
- Paying employees different wages or offering inferior benefits based on race
- Denying access to job training, promotions, or advancement opportunities because of race
- Tolerating or encouraging racially insensitive language, jokes, or behavior in the workplace
Employers are prohibited by law from making employment decisions based on race, ethnicity, or national origin. If you’ve experienced any of these forms of discrimination, you may have a legal case.
Legal Protections Against Racial Discrimination
Racial discrimination is a violation of both federal and New Jersey state laws. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits workplace discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, and national origin. Title VII applies to employers with 15 or more employees and often requires filing a claim with the EEOC before taking further legal action.
We also help clients who are victims of discrimination under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD), which offers additional protections. Unlike Title VII, LAD generally allows victims to file lawsuits without first filing with an administrative agency. We aim for resolutions that work in your best interest but are prepared to litigate in court to ensure you receive the justice you deserve.
