Individual Legal Services

No one should ever have to suffer racial bigotry or endure a sexually hostile work environment and the accompanying humiliation. Workers are too often the victim of abuse and discrimination by their employers.

It is entirely illegal for any employer to discriminate against you because of your race, color, religion, sex, disability or sexual orientation.

It is also against the law for an employer to treat you differently, or harass you, because of your disability, age, sex, race, national origin, religion, sexual orientation or any other protected class when you:

• apply for a job
• during the course of your employment
• in firing you from your job
• in forcing you to retire

“At Will” Employment

New Jersey is an employment “at will” state. The majority of workers in this state are not union workers who work under a collective bargaining agreement, nor do the vast majority of workers work under an individual employment contract guaranteeing them a specific term of employment.

“At will” employees make up the majority of our workforce in New Jersey. There are advantages and disadvantages to working as an “at will” employee. It is true that an employee “at will” may leave their job whenever they want without any concern or negative consequence resulting.

However, “at will” employees unfortunately can be lawfully fired for any reason or no reason at all. An employer can be blatantly unfair and arbitrary and fire an employee for other factors such as a personality conflicts, nepotism or favoritism.

In other words, these terminations, although morally wrong, arbitrary, unfair and repulsive to our sense of decency and our notions of fair play, are not unlawful under our current law.
