The New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA) protects employees who come forward to report illegal and fraudulent activities and employer commitments. CEPA is frequently referred to as New Jersey’s whistleblower statute and prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who report such activity. Wrongful termination, demotion, job transfers, or any form of intimidation, abuse, or harassment is considered unlawful when taken against an employee who exercises their legal right to report corruption.
