Union County Employee Rights Attorneys
New Jersey is an at-will employment state. At-will employment gives employers wide latitude in terminating employees. Despite this fact, employers have a number of duties to employees, and employees still have rights under a number of circumstances. If you believe that you were terminated unjustly without an articulated reason that makes sense, it is important to immediately consult with an employment at will attorney to explore your options and your rights under the law. The Law Offices of Emanuel S. Fish in Maplewood, New Jersey, represents employees in all types of employment law cases, including employment at will legal matters.
Even in an at-will employment situation, termination which is contrary to the company's practices and procedures may give rise to a wrongful termination claim. If there is disparate treatment based on age, gender, race, national origin, creed, religion, disability or another protected group, an employee may have a wrongful termination claim. Additionally, a company has a duty of good faith to its employees. A bad faith termination may also be actionable under the law.
Many factors enter into the determination of whether an employee's rights were violated. For example, when an employee who has faithfully served the company for decades is terminated after one mistake, the termination may be for unlawful reasons. The termination may also be against established and relied upon company practices and procedures or in bad faith. Our law firm will take a close look at the facts of the case and determine if there is a legal claim.
