Employment Law Issues in New Jersey
New Jersey workers are protected by a combination of federal and state laws that establish standards for fair wages, workplace treatment, medical leave, and more. These laws include:
- New Jersey Wage and Hour Law: Covers minimum wage, overtime pay, and employer recordkeeping responsibilities.
- Fair Labor Standards Act: A federal law establishing nationwide minimum wage and overtime rules.
- New Jersey Equal Pay Act: Requires equal pay for substantially similar work regardless of gender, race, or other protected characteristics.
Our attorneys handle a broad range of employment law cases and take a proactive, strategic approach to resolving employment issues, whether behind the scenes or in court.
Wrongful Termination and At-Will Employment
New Jersey is an “at-will” employment state, which means an employer can terminate an employee at any time and for nearly any reason. However, there are important exceptions. Termination cannot be based on discrimination, retaliation, or other unlawful grounds. If you believe you were wrongfully fired, our team can assess your case and explain your legal options.
Medical and Leave Benefits in NJ
Both state and federal laws provide employees the right to take job-protected leave for medical or family reasons. These include:
- New Jersey Family Leave Act: Allows eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave within a 24-month period for family care.
- Family and Medical Leave Act: A federal law granting eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each year for medical or family reasons.
If your employer denied you legally protected leave or retaliated against you for taking it, you may have a valid legal claim.
