This Law Firm Publication by Ford & Harrison LLP discusses a unanimous decision by the New Jersey Supreme Court on June 15, 2016 holding that employment agreements reducing the time by which employees may file discrimination claims under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) are unenforceable. In Rodriguez v. Raymours Furniture Co., the court found that shortening the time period below the LAD's two-year statute of limitations and having employees waive the statute of limitations will reduce the number of discrimination claims being filed, increase the number of frivolous claims, and interfere with both the plaintiff's interest in pursuing his claims and the public's interest in preventing workplace discrimination.
