Employee Rights In New Jersey

In New Jersey, workers are protected by some of the strongest employment laws in the country. Both state and federal statutes safeguard employees from discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage violations, giving you powerful tools to hold employers accountable.

You have the right to work free from discrimination and harassment. You have the right to be paid fairly for your time. You have the right to take family or medical leave without being punished. And if you speak up about illegal behavior or unsafe conditions, you’re protected from retaliation for that too.

The most important thing to know: if your rights are being violated, you can take action. You don’t have to just “deal with it” or keep quiet.

‍

What To Do If You’re Facing A Workplace Issue

Workplace issues can be complicated. You might be unsure if what’s happening is illegal. Or you may worry about losing your job by speaking up. We get it and it's not always black and white. But if your gut is telling you something’s wrong, it’s time to act.

Here’s what to do next:

• Document everything including emails, texts, conversations, dates, names, etc.
  
• Save copies of any write-ups, policies, or HR reports
  
• Don’t sign anything from your employer without talking to a lawyer
  
• Avoid venting on social media as it can come back to bite you
  
• Reach out to an employment lawyer in Atlantic City for a confidential consultation

You don’t have to confront your boss or file a claim right away. Just talking to us is a good first step.
