What Is Protected Activity Under CEPA?
The Conscientious Employee Protection Act protects workers who report or object to unlawful conduct. You are engaged in protected activity when you:
- Report or disclose conduct that violates a law, rule, or regulation
- Refuse to participate in actions you believe are illegal
- Cooperate with an investigation or provide testimony about misconduct
- Object to practices that threaten public health or safety
If your employer retaliates after you take any of these actions, CEPA allows you to seek reinstatement, back pay, and other damages. Our attorneys can determine whether your situation qualifies as a CEPA claim and what remedies may be available.
New Jersey False Claims Act
The New Jersey False Claims Act targets fraud against the state government. Employees who uncover and report this type of fraud are protected from retaliation under the law and may also be eligible to share in the recovery if the claim succeeds.
If you exposed false claims in a healthcare facility, government contractor, or other state-funded organization in Camden County, our firm can help you pursue a retaliation claim and protect your livelihood while doing so.
