Attorney General Gurbir Grewal has announced that the Division on Civil Rights (DCR) has issued Findings of Probable Cause against an employer in Bayonne accused of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in violation of the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD).
LAD prohibits discrimination and harassment in employment based on actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, or other protected characteristics. Prohibited bias-based harassment, including sexual harassment, can take various forms. Workplace sexual harassment is unlawful when it is so severe or pervasive that it creates a hostile working environment.

The settlement involves a former packager for the North Bergen order-fulfillment company Bergen Logistics, who alleges that the company denied her request for pregnancy-related accommodations, including as-needed bathroom breaks and a 20-pound limit on any items she would be assigned to lift.
After she filed a complaint, the New Jersey Division of Civil Rights investigation found that Bergen Logistics made no effort to accommodate her pregnancy but instead required her to take unpaid family leave.
“Our laws prohibit pregnancy-related discrimination in employment to protect workplace equality and to ensure that workers aren’t penalized for having children,” New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said in a statement.

A Hudson County company will pay a former employee $25,000 and implement workplace policy reforms under a settlement to resolve the former employee’s complaint of unlawful pregnancy discrimination, after an investigation by the Division on Civil Rights (DCR), according to New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal.
The settlement coincides with DCR issuing Findings of Probable Cause in two other pregnancy-related cases, involving women whose requests for pregnancy-related accommodations resulted in losing their jobs.
