Disability discrimination in the workplace is illegal under both federal and New Jersey state law. Employees with disabilities deserve equal opportunities and fair treatment at work. Unfortunately, many individuals with disabilities still face discrimination in hiring, promotion, or accommodations. NJ Employment Lawyers, LLC specializes in disability discrimination cases and is here to help you fight for your rights in the workplace.
What Is Disability Discrimination?
Disability discrimination occurs when an employee or job applicant is treated unfairly because of their physical or mental disability. This can take many forms, including:
• Failure to Provide Reasonable Accommodations: Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities. Failure to do so is a form of discrimination.
• Unfair Termination or Denial of Promotion: Discriminating against an employee with a disability by firing them or denying them a promotion based on their condition is unlawful.
• Harassment: Making derogatory comments, creating a hostile environment, or otherwise treating employees with disabilities unfairly based on their condition.
• Job Segregation: Employers cannot segregate employees with disabilities into separate, lower-paying, or less prestigious positions because of their disability.
