  T-odd correlations in $Wj$ production at the LHC have been studied recently
as a way to measure a phase produced by QCD at NLO by Frederix et. al. That
study found that the induced asymmetry could be observed with 20 fb$^{-1}$ of 8
TeV data. These T-odd asymmetries can also be induced by CP violating new
physics interfering with the SM at LO. In this paper we study this possibility
using effective Lagrangians to describe the new physics. We find that the
leading contribution arises at dimension eight, and that it necessarily
introduces flavor changing neutral currents as well. We discuss the constraints
that can be placed on the flavor structure of the new physics operator from
studies of FCNC in kaon and B meson decays and then compare the T-odd
correlations in $Wj$ induced by CP violating new physics to those induced by
QCD at NLO. We quantify the level at which these couplings can be probed at the
LHC, and find that they will not affect a measurement of the NLO QCD phases.
