Newark Area Lawyers Protecting Employee Rights Throughout New Jersey
If you believe that your employer retaliated against you because you lodged a discrimination complaint, because you made a benefits claim, or because you are a whistleblower, you should contact an attorney right away. This is an illegal business practice that should never be tolerated. Employees and former employees have rights that must be protected.
Attorney Emanuel S. Fish, was admitted to the New Jersey Bar in 1968 and the New York Bar in 1982. He is Certified by the Supreme Court Of New Jersey As A Civil Trial Attorney. He founded the firm in 1972. The firm represents wrongfully terminated employees, injured people, and injured workers throughout the greater Newark metropolitan area and New Jersey. Attorney Edward F. Szep brings more than a decade of experience to our practice.
Retaliation does not always take the form of wrongful termination. A hostile work environment, a demotion, wage and hour problems, or a superior placing more restrictions on your work or being overly critical of your work can all be acts of retaliation.
At the Law Offices of Emanuel S. Fish, we are advocates for our clients who have been illegally retaliated against by their employer in violation of the law.
Illegal workplace retaliation often occurs when an employee does something that is legal but not in the employer's interest. This can relate to a number of situations, such as:
- A whistleblower reports a violation of the law by the employer
- An employee participates in an investigation or gives testimony in a non-employment related case brought against the employer by a third party
- An employee reports sexual harassment or discrimination
- An employee complains of unequal pay between men and women
- Employers and employees are involved in wage, hour and overtime disputes
- A worker requests accommodation for a disability, which is required by the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)
- An employee requests leave under FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) or the NJFLA (New Jersey Family Leave Act)
- An employee makes a workers' compensation claim
Do not take your employee rights lightly. Your employer must be held accountable for this illegal action.
