New Jersey employment law generally permits employers to terminate employees without cause or advance notice.
However, if an employer fires an employee due to the employee’s membership in a protected class, or because the employee has engaged in protected actions, such as reporting fraudulent conduct by an employer, the employer’s actions may constitute unlawful workplace discrimination, and the employee may have a cause of action against the company or employer in violation.

Do You Have a Case for Wrongful Termination by Your Employer?
If you were terminated due to your membership in a protected class, or because you engaged in protected conduct, you could have a cause of action against your employer, or grounds for an employment discrimination lawsuit.
If you believe that you were fired because of your age, your racial background, your gender, your sexual orientation, your religious beliefs, your national origin, or a disability, you are urged to contact our experienced New Jersey wrongful termination attorney immediately for a confidential discussion of the circumstances surrounding your termination. If you lost your job due to workplace discrimination, your employer may have broken the law, and you could have grounds for a claim against your employer.
Related to protected classes are courses of “protected conduct.” If an employee is fired for engaging in protected conduct, he or she may have a discrimination claim against his or her employer, similar to an employee who is fired based on membership in a protected class.
