Does PERC investigate allegations of race, gender, sexual orientation or religious discrimination?
No. PERC has no jurisdiction to enforce statutes regarding discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, race, or religion. Allegations such as these are considered by the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights[609-292-4605 or http://www.state.nj.us/lps/dcr] and/or the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission [1-800-669-4000 or http://www.eeoc.gov]. Such claims may also be the subject of a State or federal lawsuit.
