QUESTION

Employment Issues -- What recourse do I have?

Asked on Jan 08th, 2015 on Labor and Employment - New Jersey
More details to this question:
1. I am told I cannot work from home, although other employees are allow to do so. I have never received warnings or concerns regarding my work ethics, nor have I ever been provided a direct reason why I cannot work remotely. There is no reason for me to be in the office all the time based upon my position, and there are others who are never in the office with similar backgrounds and higher positions. It costs me almost $14/day to commute. 2. There are several individuals who have been hired without announcement from the outside, when there were qualified individuals within (some of which are also never in the office). 3. There are 2 different health plans provided to employees, one is better than the other but only the executives and religious employees are entitled to it. 4. Company has a history of actual discrimination from employees who were previously terminated and filed grievances. There are others I can't fit. Tks a bunch

You have two interesting issues. The first issue is concerned with constitutional discrimination. The Constitution prohibits discrimination based on race religion sex disability etc. If you have been discriminated against based on one of these criteria, you will have a successful position. The second issue is discrimination based upon working at home versus not working at home. This is not a constitutional issue. Employer can have one employee come to work and one employee stay at home. This would not be discrimination. Please let me know if we can help. Ed Dimon
