No employee should ever have to endure discrimination in the workplace. Whether it’s based on race, gender, age, religion, disability, or another protected characteristic, discriminatory treatment is a serious violation of your rights under New Jersey and federal law. In Hoboken and throughout Hudson County, NJ Employment Lawyers, LLC is proud to advocate for employees who have been mistreated, marginalized, or retaliated against simply for being who they are.
What Counts as Workplace Discrimination?
Discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant unfairly because of a personal characteristic protected by law. Under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD), workers are safeguarded from discrimination in all aspects of employment, including:
- Hiring and firing decisions
- Promotions and demotions
- Job assignments and training opportunities
- Pay and benefits
- Workplace conditions and access to resources
Discrimination can take many forms, including derogatory comments, systemic exclusion from advancement, or sudden disciplinary action that appears inconsistent or targeted. Even if the discrimination isn’t overt, a pattern of unequal treatment may qualify as a legal violation.

What You Can Do If You’re Experiencing Discrimination
If you believe you’re the victim of discrimination at work, here are some important steps you should take:
- Keep Records: Save emails, texts, memos, or notes that show discriminatory behavior or remarks.
- Report Internally: Notify HR or management using the company’s complaint procedures. Be sure to document your report.
