GENDER DISCRIMINATION

Federal and state laws prohibit discrimination based on sex.  They apply to both men and women and provide significant remedies for victims.  Those who can prove that they have been subjected to gender discrimination at work may recover damages for lost pay, emotional distress and punitive damages.

Unfortunately, proving that you have been the victim of gender discrimination can often be a difficult task.  While some cases have so-called "direct evidence" (such as a supervisor openly saying that he only wants a female secretary), most cases rely solely on "circumstantial evidence." 

For example, a female employee may attempt to prove that she is a victim of sex discrimination because her male co-workers are treated more favorably than she is.  They may get more promotions, better pay, plum assignments, etc. while she does not. 

The fact that gender discrimination occurs increasingly "under the radar" and may be difficult to conclusively establish should not discourage employees from asserting their rights. 

Whatever type of work you perform, whether you are senior management or a line employee, you should contact a civil rights employment attorney if you feel that you have been the victim of discrimination on the job.

Whether you're janitor, a teacher, a C-level executive, whether you trace your roots back to George Washington or you're a recent immigrant, whether you're devoutly religious, gay, lesbian or transgendered, young in age, or just young at heart - you deserve to be free of employment discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful discharge, illegal firing and all other unfair labor practices.  Workers have rights on the job!  I am an attorney for employees in New Jersey helping whistleblowers (those who report employer fraud and unlawful practices), employees who have been discriminated against, those who have experienced unjust retaliation and many other employees and independent contractors get the justice they deserve.  Unfortunately, some employers still discriminate against, harass, unlawfully terminate and subject employees to a hostile work environment based on disability, pregnancy, age, race, national original, religion, sexual orientation, exercising FMLA rights, failure to pay overtime and standing up for what is right.  Fortunately, federal and state laws protect people against violations of these civil rights.  Contact an employment lawyer to learn more.

Through use of the latest in legal technology, I represent victims of unfair employment practices in all counties in New Jersey, including Burlington County, Essex County, Hudson County, Hunterdon County, Mercer County, Middlesex County, Monmouth County, Somerset County and Union County.  I am a lawyer for employees in the towns and cities of Annandale, Bridgewater, Camden, Clinton, East Windsor, Elizabeth, Flemington, Frenchtown, Irvington, Jersey City, Lawrenceville, Milford, Newark, New Brunswick, Paterson, Princeton, Somerville, Stockton, Trenton and many others.
