New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination Protects Certain Out-of-State Workers

The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) prohibits New Jersey employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of certain protected characteristics (actual or perceived), such as age, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression and disability.

The New Jersey Division of Civil Rights has issued guidance that clarifies that the NJLAD protections extend to employees that work for New Jersey-based employers and live and work (full-time or part-time) outside of New Jersey.

Next Steps

New Jersey-based employers should:

  • Review workplace policies and procedures to ensure that employees who live and work out of state receive the protections they are entitled to under NJLAD.

    Note: NJLAD may not apply to individuals who live in New Jersey and who work for an employer based in another state, but federal and other applicable state laws may offer protections.
