Wrongful Termination Attorney in New Jersey

Fired for an illegal reason? Know your rights and get experienced legal help.

Most employees are at-will, meaning they can be terminated with or without notice and for any reason or no reason. However, employers cannot fire employees for illegal reasons.

Some illegal bases on which to terminate include race, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, pregnancy, disability and, veteran status.

It is also illegal for employers to retaliate against employees for engaging in certain types of conduct. Specifically, employers may not terminate an employee because he or she has complained about or opposed discriminatory practices by the employer. Employers are also prohibited from retaliating an employee who has engaged in whistleblowing activities.
