The term “wrongful termination” is misleading
because in NEW JERSEY and most other states, without a written Agreement for a
specific term, employment is “at will.” This means that employers can fire or
terminate you for any reason, or for no reason at all, unless:
A. Your rights are protected under employment
discrimination laws. Employers cannot discriminate against you on the basis of
age, race, gender, disability or perceived disability, religion and/or national
origin, pregnancy status, marital status, or sexual orientation.
B. You have
an employment contract, either written or implied, with the employer, who
agreed that you cannot be fired without just cause for a specific period of
time. The terms of the contract will usually determine the reasons for which
you can be fired.
If you believe you have been fired for questionable
reasons that may constitute employment discrimination or a breach of contract ,
then you should discuss your concerns with an New Jersey Employment attorney
