Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Re: Discrimination?

If you think that you might be the victim of illegal discrimination based on your marital status, it would be worth consulting with an attorney to provide more details. Your question does not provide any specific information about why you think you may be the victim of illegal discrimination.

As far as your "personality" goes, as long as the personality "trait" is not in a legally-protected category, your employer is permitted to evaluate you and include personality characteristics. For example, a car salesman with a "quiet" personality might not be the best "fit" for a sales job, and this might show itself in poor performance. Similarly, an employer would be justified in taking into account a customer service representative's "obnoxious" personality in deciding whether to promote, or retain, that employee.

I strongly recommend that you consult with an attorney immediately so that you can explore your legal rights, obligations, and options. If you wish to discuss retaining my services, contact me at:
