What Is Workplace Discrimination?
Workplace discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee unfairly or unequally based on characteristics such as race, gender, disability, or other protected categories. Under federal and New Jersey state law, discrimination is prohibited in all aspects of employment, including hiring, firing, promotions, pay, and working conditions. Types of workplace discrimination include:
- Racial Discrimination: Discriminating against an employee based on their race or ethnicity is illegal. This includes unfair treatment in hiring, promotions, or job assignments.
- Gender Discrimination: Employees cannot be discriminated against because of their gender. This includes unequal pay, denial of promotions, or other adverse actions based on gender.
- Age Discrimination: Employees over the age of 40 are protected from discrimination based on their age. Older workers cannot be treated unfairly in hiring or firing decisions.
- Disability Discrimination: Employers must provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities and cannot treat them unfairly due to their condition.
- Religious Discrimination: Employees cannot be discriminated against due to their religious beliefs or practices. Employers are also required to accommodate religious practices when possible.
