The New Jersey Supreme Court voids a time limit on discrimination claims. A furniture store employee filed a discrimination claim nine months after he was fired, alleging he was terminated in retaliation for filing a worker’s comp claim. While the state of New Jersey has a two-year time limit for filing claims under the Law Against Discrimination, the worker had signed a job application with the company that imposed a six-month time limit. In a landmark decision, the New Jersey Supreme Court reversed appellate and trial decisions in this case, ruling that the contract violates public policy. Carmine Iannaccone, from Epstein Becker Green, tells us how this ruling could impact the way that employers use their job applications. • This is an extended interview from Employment Law This Week (Episode 32: Week of June 27, 2016), an online series by Epstein Becker Green. • Visit http://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com. • These materials have been provided for informational purposes only and are not intended and should not be construed to constitute legal advice.
