“Employer” includes all ‘persons’ unless otherwise specifically exempt, and includes the state, any political or civil subdivision, and all public officers, agencies, boards or bodies.
“Person” includes one or more individuals, partnerships, associations, organizations, labor organizations, corporations, legal representatives, trustees, trustees in bankruptcy, receivers, and fiduciaries.
Unlawful employment practices
The unlawful employment practices and exemptions are similar to those under the federal Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Sex. For example, the state law includes similar descriptions of what constitutes harassment or a hostile work environment.
Employees may file a complaint with the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights within 180 days of the date of the alleged violation. Alternatively, they may file a complaint in the Law Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey within two years of the alleged violation.
