Castronovo & McKinney, LLC represents employees in Weymouth Township, NJ, who have experienced racial discrimination in the workplace. Our employment attorneys help workers protect their rights under federal and New Jersey employment laws and pursue claims against employers that engage in unlawful discriminatory practices.
Racial discrimination in the workplace can affect every stage of employment, from hiring and promotions to compensation, discipline, and termination. Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, employers cannot make employment decisions based on race, color, or national origin. If an employer violates these protections, employees may have the right to seek compensation and other legal remedies. Castronovo & McKinney, LLC represents clients in Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) claims and employment litigation against discriminatory employers.
New Jersey employees also have strong protections under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD). Unlike federal law, the LAD allows many employees to file a lawsuit directly in court without first filing an administrative complaint with the EEOC. This can provide a more efficient path to holding employers accountable for unlawful discrimination.
Examples of racial discrimination include:
- Refusing to hire, promote, or provide raises because of an employee’s race, ethnicity, or national origin
- Paying employees less than similarly qualified coworkers because of race
- Denying training, professional development, or advancement opportunities based on race
- Subjecting employees to racial slurs, offensive comments, jokes, or other race-based harassment by supervisors, coworkers, or clients
If you have experienced racial discrimination at work in Weymouth Township, NJ, Castronovo & McKinney, LLC can evaluate your case, explain your legal options, and pursue the compensation and other remedies available under federal and New Jersey law. Contact our firm to schedule a consultation.
