Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file an employment lawsuit in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, you generally have two years to file a claim for wrongful termination or discrimination under the NJLAD. For wage and hour claims under the New Jersey Wage and Hour Law, the time limit is also two years, or three years if the violation was willful. You should speak with a lawyer promptly to avoid missing these deadlines.
Can I be fired for reporting workplace safety issues in New Jersey?
No, New Jersey law protects employees from retaliation for reporting unsafe working conditions. The Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA) prohibits employers from firing or punishing workers who report violations of law or public policy. If you were fired for whistleblowing, you may have a legal claim.
What damages can I recover in an employment discrimination case in New Jersey?
Under the NJLAD, you can recover back pay, front pay, emotional distress damages, and attorney fees. In some cases, punitive damages may also be available if the employer acted with malice or reckless indifference. The amount depends on the specific facts of your case.
