Retaliation and Whistleblowing

Experienced New Jersey Law Firm

It is illegal for employers to retaliate against employees for doing the right thing. When employees report discrimination, harassment, file workers' compensation claims, testify in legal proceedings, or bring illegal activity to the employers' attention, employers cannot take adverse employment actions. Unfortunately, this legal protection does not prevent employers from terminating or demoting employees who report such activity.

Protect Your Rights, Maximize Your Compensation

Our firm has extensive experience representing employees who have been terminated in retaliation for their refusal to participate in their employer's wrongful conduct or who have faced adverse actions for reporting such activities. We will work to ensure that you receive full and fair compensation for your employer's wrongful acts.

Under both state and federal laws, employers cannot retaliate against employees who report illegal or fraudulent practices to appropriate government agencies. These laws, such as the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act ("CEPA"), also protect employees who object to the unlawful, fraudulent, or unethical activities of their employers and refuse to participate in those activities.

The laws protecting employees who disclose wrongful employer conduct protect both labor and management personnel. Whether you are a line worker who has witnessed discrimination or harassment by senior management, or a senior executive who discovered and disclosed fraudulent financial reporting, you have the right to report your employer's misconduct without fear of retribution.

The lawyers of Deutsch Atkins, P.C. have extensive experience protecting the rights of employees in actions involving these and other claims related to employment law matters, such as discrimination, breach of contract, and harassment.
