The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination ("LAD") is a broad law that prohibits discrimination based on age, gender, pregnancy, race, color, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, religion, ancestry, marital status and military status. That means it makes it unlawful for companies to treat employees worse because of their membership in one of those legally protected categories.
Retaliation Also Violates the LawThe LAD also prohibits employers from retaliating against an employee because they complained about unlawful discrimination in the workplace. For instance, it would be illegal for your company to fire you because you complained to your supervisor or the human resources department about disability discrimination or sexual harassment.
