What Types of Employment Discrimination Are Prohibited by State and Federal Law?

Various state and federal laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, prohibit employers from engaging in or permitting discrimination and harassment of workers based on a worker’s protected characteristics. Protected characteristics include:

• Race, ethnicity, color, or national origin
• Sex, gender identity, or gender expression
• Sexual orientation
• Religious belief or creed
• Age
• Disability or perceived disability
• Pregnancy
• Familial status
• Military service or veteran status

Prohibited employer conduct includes:

• Discrimination – Discrimination involves undertaking adverse employment actions against an employee based on a protected characteristic. Adverse employment actions that may give rise to a discrimination claim include:
• Failure to hire
• Failure to promote
• Denials of pay raises
• Pay disparity between workers in substantially identical roles
• Assignment of unfavorable tasks
• Transfers to unfavorable roles
• Suspensions
• Termination
• Harassment – Workplace harassment occurs when an employee is subjected to unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic, when that conduct becomes a condition of employment, or is severe or pervasive enough to create an intimidating, abusive, or hostile work environment.
• Retaliation – An employer engages in retaliation when it takes adverse employment action against a worker who has exercised their rights under employment law, such as filing a workers’ compensation claim, requesting FMLA leave, demanding minimum wage or earned overtime, demanding equal pay, or filing a whistleblower complaint.
• Failure to accommodate – Employers have a legal obligation to confer in good faith to develop accommodations that a worker may need for a disability or their religious beliefs or practices. Disability accommodations may include more frequent breaks, duty restrictions, or assistive or ergonomic equipment. Religious accommodations may include offering breaks for prayer, uniform waivers to allow workers to wear religious garments, or offering religious holidays off work.
