New Jersey Wrongful Termination Attorneys

New Jersey Wrongful Termination Law

Just because New Jersey considers itself an at-will state, does not mean it allows employers to engage in the wrongful termination of employees. At-will employment means that you or your employer can terminate your employment relationship at any time for any reason, so long as it is not based on a violation of employment law.

In the state of New Jersey, your employer cannot terminate you for an illegal reason, such as employment discrimination. At Costello & Mains, P.C., our New Jersey wrongful termination lawyers advocate for the rights of employees throughout New Jersey who have been subjected to wrongful discharge. Contact us to consult an employment lawyer about your rights against wrongful termination.

Unlawful Termination

State and federal laws prohibit employers from basing their decision to terminate employees on:

Their status as Whistleblowers
The fact that they filed discrimination or harassment claims
Their failure to willingly violate state and federal regulations and laws

Employers do not have to terminate you directly in order to be found guilty of wrongful termination. Constructive discharge describes a situation where an employer creates such a dreadful working environment that no reasonable person would have any other choice but to resign. This frequently is the case in situations involving workplace harassment, sexual harassment, or workplace discrimination.
