New Jersey Employment Law Claims for Sex Bias
The Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed discrimination on the basis of a person's sex. Yet nearly 50 years later, many women still face harassment, unequal treatment, lesser compensation and barriers to advancement.
If you have been subjected to sex discrimination, you will need skilled and knowledgeable representation to assert your rights and hold the employer accountable. Experienced employment law attorney Jae E. Lee and the team at Fishman McIntyre P.C. have handled gender bias cases across New Jersey.

Gender Discrimination in Employment
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act specifically prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in hiring, job duties, discipline, promotion and other aspects of employment. The Equal Pay Act requires that women be paid the same as men for the same or comparable jobs. The highest courts have also held that sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination under Title VII.
Fishman McIntyre P.C. has brought successful lawsuits against New Jersey employers for all forms of gender discrimination:
- Refusal to hire women for "male" jobs
- "Glass ceiling" claims (failure to promote women)
- Unequal pay and job perks
- Unwanted sexual advances or touching
- Other behavior constituting a hostile work environment
Sex discrimination is personally demeaning and economically harmful. We will pursue your compensation for back pay, front pay, emotional distress and other applicable damages. We represent individuals and groups of female employees whose rights were violated.
