Combating Workplace Discrimination
in Cherry Hill
New Jersey provides some of the strongest anti-discrimination protections in the country under the NJLAD. Employers cannot make employment decisions—hiring, firing, promotions, pay, or other terms—based on protected characteristics.
Discrimination can be:
- Overt, such as facially discriminatory comments from management.
- Subtle, such as being passed over for promotions despite superior qualifications.
No matter the form, you do not have to accept unfair treatment. We will help you hold employers accountable.
Harassment and Sexual Harassment
Harassment under the NJLAD extends beyond sexual harassment to any behavior creating a hostile work environment based on protected characteristics like race, age, or religion.
Sexual harassment violates both state and federal laws.
It can occur as:
-
Hostile Work Environment
Severe or pervasive unwelcome behavior altering conditions of employment. -
Quid Pro Quo
Employment benefits conditioned on submitting to sexual demands.
Whether harassment comes from supervisors, coworkers, or customers, your employer must address it. If they fail, or if you face retaliation for complaining about it, we can help you pursue justice.
Protection Against Retaliation
Employees who report illegal activity, discrimination, or harassment are protected under CEPA, the NJLAD, and/or other employment laws. Employers cannot lawfully demote, fire, or penalize you for engaging in these protected activities. If you have experienced retaliation, we can help enforce your rights and seek appropriate remedies.
Wage Disputes
Every worker deserves fair compensation. We help employees recover from:
- Unpaid wages, including unpaid overtime or minimum wage violations
- Unlawful wage deductions
Warden Law LLC handles claims under the NJWHL and the NJWPL, as well as the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Severance Agreements and Employment Contracts
Severance packages can provide crucial financial stability, but they often favor employers.
Clauses may include:
- Waivers of legal rights
- Non-compete agreements
- Non-disparagement clauses
Alternative Dispute Resolution and Mediation
Not every employment dispute requires litigation. Mediation is a structured negotiation process guided by a neutral third party that can:
- Resolve conflicts faster than court
