Jackson Lewis: New Jersey Casino Employee Weight Policy Fairly Applied, Court Approves | Practical Law
This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis P.C. discusses the recent decision in Schiavo, et al. v. Marina District Dev. Co., LLC, d/b/a Borgata Casino Hotel & Spa in which the Appellate Division affirmed that the Borgata Casino did not violate the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) by enforcing a weight standard for its "BorgataBabes." However, finding that the record included adequate evidence that the policy was applied to some plaintiffs returning from medical or maternity leaves in a discriminatory, harassing manner, the court reinstated the sexual harassment hostile work environment discrimination charges.
