Frequently Asked Questions
What does an employment lawyer in West Orange do?
An employment lawyer helps employees and sometimes employers with legal matters related to the workplace. This includes handling cases of discrimination, retaliation, breach of contract, and wage and hour violations under New Jersey and federal law.
How long do I have to file a discrimination claim in New Jersey?
Under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, you generally have 180 days to file a complaint with the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights. For federal claims under Title VII, the time limit is 300 days if you also file with the EEOC.
Can I be fired for no reason in New Jersey?
New Jersey is an at-will employment state, meaning you can be fired for any reason or no reason, as long as it is not illegal. However, termination is illegal if it violates an employment contract or is based on discrimination, retaliation, or public policy exceptions.
