This Law Firm Publication by Epstein Becker & Green, P.C. discusses amendments to the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination that adds pregnancy as a protected class, requires reasonable accommodation absent undue hardship and prohibits employers from retaliating against employees for requesting information about a current or former employee's job title, occupational category, compensation, gender, race, ethnicity, military status or national origin. The amendments, which became effective January 22, 2014, protect information requests when made to investigate or take legal action regarding potential discriminatory treatment concerning compensation or benefits, and apply whether the requests have been made to current or former employees.
