Wage and Hour Compliance has jurisdiction in termination cases only when the termination results from a wage complaint. If you believe your employment was terminated because you complained about your wages, be sure to include this information on your claim form.
If your employment was terminated for any other reason, staff in Wage and Hour Compliance cannot assist you. New Jersey is an "employment-at-will" state, meaning that either an employer or employee may end employment at any time, without reason or notice.
If you believe your employment was terminated for reasons that constitute discrimination, call the Division on Civil Rights at (609) 292-4605 or visit their website at www.njcivilrights.com.
