Burlington County Workplace Retaliation Lawyers: Defending Your Rights
In Burlington County, New Jersey, employees have the right to work without fear of retaliation for reporting wrongdoing or exercising their employment rights. At Costello, Mains & Silverman, LLC, our dedicated workplace retaliation lawyers are committed to protecting the rights of employees who face backlash for standing up against unethical practices or asserting their lawful entitlements.
Understanding Workplace Retaliation
Retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse action against an employee for engaging in legally protected activities. These activities can include:
- Reporting Fraud or Wrongdoing: Employees are encouraged to report unethical or illegal activities without fear of reprisal.
- Exercising Employment Rights: Employees are protected when taking medical leave, maternity leave, or filing work injury claims.
- Whistleblower Protections: Both state and federal laws offer protections and incentives for whistleblowers who expose misconduct.
Despite the concept of “at-will” employment, which allows employers to terminate employees for any reason that is not illegal, retaliation for protected activities is against the law. Our experienced attorneys are here to ensure that employers do not use at-will employment as a shield to justify wrongful termination or other forms of retaliation.
