Employment Discrimination And Retaliation
Summary
If you face employment discrimination due to a disability, the ADA offers protection. Retaliation for off-duty disagreements may be unfair. Wage issues could involve the FLSA. You can file complaints with the EEOC, WHD, and NJ DCR. For evidence, request records under OPRA and FOIA, especially if your team is federally funded. Consider consulting an employment or disability lawyer in NJ. Use resources like the NJ State Bar Association, Avvo, or Martindale-Hubbell to find legal representation.

Employment issue was working in the cape regional medical center as a peer recovery specialist helping patients that overdosed or struggled with addiction. The director of my unit and I had a disagreement outside of work when we were both off. The day after this happened she took me off remote, I am a protected employee due to my diagnosed add. She took away one of my duties that I lost * a month in payroll, manipulated my hourly wage after a certain time so the hospital would not have to pay health benefit and I would only be allowed to work * hours and the rest was bonus time. I need to see the wage and hour division. She singled me out and made one of the other supervisors walk
****, it sounds like you're dealing with a serious employment issue. Here are some points to consider:
- The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects employees with disabilities from discrimination.
- Retaliation for a disagreement outside of work can be considered unfair treatment.
- Wage and hour violations could involve the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
You might want to consider speaking with an employment lawyer. Do you have any further details about your workplace or need more specific guidance?

Multiple emails sent to the overall director but all she did was brought me in meetings and said to stop emails and the hospital did not investigate any of my claims. Since our team was * percent funded by federal and state government with grants can I request information under opra and freedom of information act.
