In the statewide bureaucracy that governs communications between NJ State government agencies, and the hundreds of local BOE’s (Board of Education) that must comply with state regulations, one thing is sure: a lot of emails get sent back and forth.
That’s why when one NJ BOE was sited for failure to take action by a deadline for a state mandated policy that was allegedly emailed to five of their employees, they contacted NSGi’s Cyber Team to help them. The BOE said they never got the emails. Where Do Emails Hide?After a few days of research, these were NSGI’s findings:
NSGI also accessed the BOE’s online archiving solution that works with Gmail to archive all messages, and duplicates of all messages are backed up to this system. After reviewing the backup system, the message in question was still not found. ConclusionsBased on all the findings of NSGI’s investigation, it was determined that BOE’s Gmail account did not receive the message in question and NSGi wholly supported BOE’s claims that their employees never received this email and had NOT been negligent. The team at NSGi has deep experience in all matters related to computer, mobile and network investigations as well as general IT services. For more information please contact NSGI today.

Here are some insights from a leading NJ employment and workplace discrimination lawyer to help you spot illegal hiring practices.
Discriminatory job interview questions According to New Jersey employment laws, during a job interview, an employer is not allowed to ask potential hires about:
As an applicant, you are allowed to raise questions about this personal information as it regards yourself, and the interviewer can answer your questions but not go any further. When is job discrimination legal? It’s important to note that employers, however, are allowed to discriminate between applicants in some cases where there is a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) where certain traits are necessary for the job requirement. For example, airliners are not allowed to hire pilots over a certain age, and modeling shoots for women’s clothing will only hire female models. Speak to an employment attorney today if you’ve been the victim of illegal discrimination Employment attorneys know exactly how to pursue and win a hiring discrimination case, and fight back against illegal hiring practices. With the help of the right employment lawyer, you can get the compensation you deserve. Fighting a hiring discrimination case is a tough battle, and you deserve to have expert support.

Original content posted on http://deiningerlaw.com/blog/are-your-employers-hiring-practices-discriminatory/ Losing your job is always traumatic, but being fired for no good reason is especially devastating. There’s no excuse for employers who let their workers go under these circumstance, which is where wrongful discharge/wrongful termination laws are important. With the help of an experienced New Jersey wrongful termination attorney, you can fight back.
Unfair termination doesn’t always mean wrongful termination Common scenarios for unfair termination include long-term employees being fired because their salaries have increased to a level that the company no longer wants to pay, or because office politics have caused an employee to become a scapegoat for certain issues. Unfortunately, these types of circumstances often aren’t illegal because New Jersey is an “employment at will” state. This means that your employer can fire you at any time without reason unless you have an employment contract, a legal entitlement to your job (for example, being tenured), or a group employment contract (like a Collective Bargaining Agreement). This means that, essentially, your employer can fire you for any reason as long as it was not based on unlawful discrimination or retaliation against a whistleblower. What can make my firing illegal? However, there are New Jersey employment laws that can assist you, including the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The key here is that the reason needs to be covered by unlawful discrimination. This can be in the form of discrimination against race, religion, nationality, age, disability, sexual orientation, or gender. It is also illegal to fire someone for taking medical or family leave, being pregnant or because they were unwilling to accommodate your disability. You are also covered if you were fired for raising concerns about workplace safety issues or illegal activities in the workplace. Fighting wrongful termination is a complex process – Get the right legal support from your lawyer Experienced employment attorneys know how this legal system works, the requirements of pursuing a claim, and what it takes to win a wrongful termination case. With the help of the right employment lawyer, you can get the compensation you deserve – whether you want your job back, compensation for harm or legal fees, or back pay and benefits that you are entitled to. Fighting a wrongful termination is a tough battle, and you deserve to have expert support.

Original content posted on http://deiningerlaw.com/blog/when-is-getting-fired-illegal-insight-from-a-nj-wrongful-termination-attorney/ In the State of New Jersey, racial discrimination in the workplace is prevented by employment laws – but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. From unfair hiring and firing practices to harassment and unequal salaries or promotions, racial discrimination at work is real for many people who are simply trying to work hard and live the American dream. Unfortunately, this type of discrimination is difficult to prove and fighting it may provoke backlash from employers – which is why it is essential to have an experienced NJ employment lawyer on your side.
How to prove discrimination on the job Like many other forms of discrimination, racial discrimination is difficult to prove. In order to demonstrate that your employer consciously made a choice to overlook or single you out because of your race, you need particular evidence. This may include:
Before you can file a suit against your employer, you may need to file a Charge of Discrimination with the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) within 180 days of the discriminatory event, along with information about the company and a brief description of your claims.

The WSI team was selected after a competitive bidding process that included many agencies that were so called “law firm specialists”.

This blog originally published at http://winm-nj.com/blog/chris-deininger-partnership The State of New Jersey has strict policies against discrimination, including sexual discrimination in the workplace. This is covered by the Law Against Discrimination and can carry heavy penalties as well as loss of reputation for individuals and companies who commit these offenses. Here’s some helpful insight into this issue from Chris Deininger.
What workplace situations are covered by anti-discrimination laws? Sexual discrimination can occur in almost every job-related aspect of the modern workplace, including:
It is important to remember that sexual discrimination does not need to be overt in order to be found to be illegal. Certain policies can exist that, when implemented, cause particular groups to be excluded in ways that cannot be justified as fair. Who is covered by sexual discrimination policies? Simply put, this law covers a comprehensive range of genders and sexual orientations, in order to protect every employee from discriminatory practices. While the majority of reported sexual discrimination happens to women, men – as well as the LBTQ community – are equally covered. Unfortunately, these cases and complaints are often difficult to prove and, without the assistance of a leading sexual discrimination lawyer, they are often dismissed or reduced to he said-she said arguments where the truth is often lost.

Original content posted on http://deiningerlaw.com/blog/recognizing-and-fighting-against-sexual-discrimination-in-the-workplace/ No matter what industry you’re in or what your rank is at your place of employment, you’re in a position where you may witness illegal or questionable conduct or activities by your company or employers. For many employees, this is a situation in which they are morally and legally compelled to report wrongdoing, as these activities may affect the health, wellbeing or finances of others. Certainly, becoming a whistleblower is considered the correct course of action – but this doesn’t mean that whistleblowers don’t face devastating consequences for simply trying to do the right thing. This is where whistleblower protection and employment attorney Chris Deininger comes in.
Are there laws to protect whistleblowers from retaliation? The short answer is: Yes, the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 is the central Federal law that provides this protection. In addition, there are laws enforced by the Occupational Health and Safety Act to cover workers in different industries who encounter safety violations. By combining whistleblower claims with anti-retaliation laws, employees should feel confident and encouraged to notify the correct agencies of dangers to employee as well as public health and safety. How to make use of whistleblower laws and protection Unfortunately, despite these laws, whistleblowers often find themselves paying the price for doing the right thing. Retaliation by employers can include anything from harassment and demotion to losing your job and destroying your reputation/career. Having to navigate a complex legal system that include time limitations on complaints on top of your employment troubles can be a nearly impossible task, which is why the assistance of an experienced, driven employment attorney is essential. Protect your rights as an employee – Have your case evaluated for free by a whistleblower attorney With nearly 30 years of complex litigation experience, Chris Deininger is a New Jersey employment law attorney who believes that no one should pay the price of doing the right thing.
