Under the New York State & City Laws, it is unlawful to discriminate against individuals when hiring for a job, while on the job, or if an employee has filed a complaint of discrimination.

Individual supervisors may also be sued under New York State and City law, as well as under New Jersey State law, under certain circumstances. Independent contractors may also be protected.

New Jersey
