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.

Workplace discrimination and harassment in New Jersey
The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) protects workers at employers of every size from discrimination, harassment and retaliation based on a long list of traits. You generally have 180 days to file with the NJ Division on Civil Rights or two years to sue in Superior Court, and you cannot do both at once. There is no cap on damages under the LAD.
