A New Jersey employment lawyer that represented a former Millville police officer recently settled a lawsuit against the municipality for $415,000.00.
The officer alleged harassment based on his sexual orientation. New Jersey employment lawyers can file discrimination cases based on an employee's sexual orientation. The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination prohibits discrimination against an individual on the basis of their sexual orientation. The law allows individuals to seek damages against their employers, which may include a claim for punitive damages, as well as damages for pain and suffering and emotional distress.
