Being terminated from a job is never easy, but it can be even more distressing if you believe that your termination was unfair or unlawful. Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee in violation of their legal rights. In New Jersey, employees are protected by a variety of state and federal laws that prohibit wrongful dismissal, including laws against retaliation, discrimination, and breach of contract.
If you find yourself in a situation where you suspect wrongful termination, it’s important to seek legal counsel right away. NJ Employment Lawyers is here to help. Our team of experienced employment attorneys can assess your case, guide you through the legal process, and help you fight for justice. Whether you believe you were terminated due to discrimination, retaliation, or another illegal reason, having a skilled employment lawyer by your side is essential to ensuring that your rights are protected.
Under New Jersey law, employees are protected against being fired for discriminatory reasons, including race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, and more. If you were fired for any of these reasons, you may have grounds to file a wrongful termination lawsuit. Our team at NJ Employment Lawyers is experienced in handling these types of claims and will work to gather the necessary evidence to support your case.
Additionally, many workers are protected under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and other state laws that provide job protections for those who take time off for medical reasons or family leave. If you were fired after taking a legally protected leave of absence, this could be a form of wrongful termination. Our attorneys will help you determine whether your termination violates these important legal protections.
In some cases, employees are fired in retaliation for reporting unlawful behavior, such as discrimination, harassment, or unsafe working conditions. Retaliatory discharge is illegal under both state and federal law. If you believe that your employer terminated you because you complained about illegal activity, filed a workers’ compensation claim, or participated in an investigation, our team can assist you in pursuing a retaliation claim.
Another common issue that leads to wrongful termination is the violation of an employment contract. In cases where an employee has a contract that specifies the terms of termination, firing the employee outside of these terms may constitute a breach of contract. If you have a written contract that outlines conditions for termination, you should consult an employment lawyer to determine whether your termination violated the agreement.
