NEW JERSEY’S BROAD STATE LAWS AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
As previously mentioned, New Jersey provides some of the most extensive protections for employees against discrimination. New Jersey’s Law against Discrimination (LAD) is a comprehensive civil rights statute that protects employees from discrimination based on some characteristics not protected under federal law. It is important you hire an experienced attorney who is aware of State laws, since federal law does not include such protections and therefore as an employee, you may mistakenly be told you cannot recover. One important example included under LAD but not under Federal law is sexual orientation.
