Speaking Up Shouldn’t Cost You Your Job

New Jersey law protects whistleblowers from retaliation—if your employer punished you for doing the right thing, you may have a legal case.

New Jersey has one of the strongest and most far-reaching whistleblower protection laws in the United States. The New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act (“CEPA”) provides protection to employees and independent contractors who disclose or threaten to disclose to a supervisor a policy, practice, or activity of the employer that the employee reasonably believes is illegal, criminal, or fraudulent. It also protects employees and independent contractors who object to or refuse to participate in an activity, policy, or practice of the employer that the employee reasonably believes is illegal, criminal, or fraudulent.

CEPA prohibits retaliation which can take the form of termination, demotion, suspension, negative compensation decisions, and other adverse actions.
