Wrongful Discharge/Termination

New Jersey Wrongful Termination Attorneys

Just because New Jersey considers itself an at-will state, does not mean it allows employers to engage in the wrongful termination of employees. At-will employment means that you or your employer can terminate your employment relationship at any time for any reason, so long as it does not violate the law.

In the state of New Jersey, your employer cannot terminate you for an illegal reason. At Costello & Mains, P.C., we advocate for the rights of employees throughout New Jersey whose employers wrongfully discharged them. Contact us, to consult a lawyer about your rights against wrongful termination.

State and federal laws prohibit employers from basing their decision to terminate employees on:

• Their status as Whistleblowers
• The fact that they filed discrimination or harassment claims
• Their failure to willingly violate state and federal regulations and laws

Employers do not have to terminate you directly in order to be found guilty of wrongful termination. Constructive discharge describes a situation where an employer creates such a dreadful working environment that no reasonable person would have any other choice but to resign. This frequently is the case in situations involving workplace harassment, sexual harassment, or discrimination.
