Discrimination Lawyers Serving New York & New Jersey

First: What is Discrimination in the Workplace?

Workplace discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee differently because of their membership in a protected class listed below. This can be a difference in hiring, pay, benefits, promotions, termination, and more. Our employment lawyers safeguard your individual interests for allegations based on:

• Gender discrimination (including a possible “glass ceiling”)
• Age discrimination
• Racial discrimination
• Disability discrimination
• Religious discrimination
• Pregnancy discrimination
• Sexual orientation discrimination
• National origin discrimination

Additionally, employees have rights to FMLA leave, to be free from unlawful termination, and to be free from harassment at work. Other areas of employment law include cases regarding:

• Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) issues
• Wrongful termination
• Whistleblower retaliation
• Hostile work environment
• Wage, hour, and overtime issues
