Employment guides
All guidesFired in New Jersey: when a termination is actually illegal
Most New Jersey employees work at will, which means an employer can fire you for a bad reason or no reason at all. A firing becomes illegal when the real reason is something the law protects, such as your race, age or disability, reporting illegal conduct, or a promise in a contract. Deadlines are short: a whistleblower claim under CEPA generally must be filed within one year.
