You may have a legitimate and compelling case against an employer if you were blatantly discriminated against on the basis of any of the following:
- Age (if you are older than 40)
- Disability or perceived disability, when reasonable accommodations would allow you to fulfill requirements of the job
- Race, color, national origin, religion, gender or sexual orientation
- Pregnancy or marital status
- Veteran status
Through application of the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD), your employment discrimination case can go straight to court if warranted by the facts. You are protected from discrimination in ways such above — and from retaliation when you report the discrimination.
