Recognizing and Fighting Against Sexual Discrimination in the Workplace



The State of New Jersey has strict policies against discrimination, including sexual discrimination in the workplace. This is covered by the Law Against Discrimination and can carry heavy penalties as well as loss of reputation for individuals and companies who commit these offenses. Here’s some helpful insight into this issue from Chris Deininger.

 What workplace situations are covered by anti-discrimination laws? 

 Sexual discrimination can occur in almost every job-related aspect of the modern workplace, including:

  • Recruitment
  • Interviewing
  • Hiring
  • Promotions
  • Compensation – salaries and bonuses
  • Discharge – retrenchment packages, firings, etc.
  • Terms and privileges of employment

It is important to remember that sexual discrimination does not need to be overt in order to be found to be illegal. Certain policies can exist that, when implemented, cause particular groups to be excluded in ways that cannot be justified as fair.

Who is covered by sexual discrimination policies? 

 Simply put, this law covers a comprehensive range of genders and sexual orientations, in order to protect every employee from discriminatory practices. While the majority of reported sexual discrimination happens to women, men – as well as the LBTQ community – are equally covered.
Unfortunately, these cases and complaints are often difficult to prove and, without the assistance of a leading sexual discrimination lawyer, they are often dismissed or reduced to he said-she said arguments where the truth is often lost.
