The New Jersey Minimum Wage Act Governor Phil Murphy recently signed off on a plan to increase the minimum wage to $15 per hour in New Jersey by 2024, making it one of the most progressive minimum wage states in the country. According to the plan, the minimum wage would increase by $1 per year until it reaches $15 per hour. If your employer pays you less than minimum wage in New Jersey, it may constitute wage theft. If you believe your employer has been engaging in wage theft, contact an employment attorney at the Zeff Law Firm to discuss your case. https://www.zefflawfirm.com/employment-contract-severance-/

White House Gender Policy Council Earlier this year, President Biden signed an executive order creating a White House Gender Policy Council. The order aims to increase gender diversity among federal employees and in the military. This council will focus on sexual harassment, structural barriers to women’s participation in the workforce, gender wage and wealth gaps, caregiving issues, and gender-based violence.

Remote workforces pose challenge for required employment law postings In the past, it was common to see posters in the break room informing employees about rights as a worker like minimum wage and nondiscrimination. But with so many employees working from home lately, how are employees supposed to find out about employment laws that apply to them? The Department of Labor’s recently put out new guidance for employers to comply with posting requirements while employees work remotely, such as posting on the company’s intranet or using the employee handbook to inform employees of the virtual location of postings.

Age Discrimination Persists in the Workplace The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) was created in 1967 to protect people 40 and older from age discrimination in the workplace. According to AARP, 67% of workers 45 or older said they had seen or experienced age discrimination at work. Age discrimination is illegal when it creates a hostile work environment, or leads to negative actions against the employee, like being fired or demoted. Contact the experienced age discrimination lawyers at the Zeff Law Firm if you have been the victim of age discrimination in the workplace. #ADEA #AgeDiscriminationLawyers #ZeffLawFirm https://www.zefflawfirm.com/employment-age-discrimination-/

Trials by Jury are Becoming Increasingly Rare

I’m pleased to have participated in making this happen: http://www.njscnaacp.org/lawsuit-agreement-fair-ballot-sig/. My role was simply to bring the matter to National NAACP and to advocate that we (NJ) be a party because after reading the lawsuit it seemed to be a good idea.

In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday that LGBT+ employees are protected from workplace discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 has been used for decades to protect employees from from discrimination on the bases of race, sex, national origin and religion. We are pleased that LGBT+ employees will now be protected as well, and look forward to fighting on behalf of employees who suffer discrimination on any of these bases.
