Over 6000 charges of discrimination were filed with the EEOC in Pennsylvania and New Jersey in 2017 alone.

A Background on Employment Law

It is also under an employer’s purview to act in accordance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, and the Equal Pay Act.
