Assault
Behavior that may constitute an intentional act includes a physical attack, which may lead to an assault and battery claim. Similarly, if an employer deliberately harasses or makes false statements about an employee that is derogatory in nature, that damage the employee’s reputation and cause financial harm, it may constitute defamation.

Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
Although many people who work in New Jersey are at-will employees, some workers have contracts with their employers that define the terms and conditions of their employment. While in many instances, employment contracts are beneficial to employees, in some cases, they provide employers with an unfair advantage. Additionally, even if an employment contract is designed to protect an employee, the employee may nonetheless suffer harm if the employer breaches the contract. If you work in New Jersey and have questions or issues with your employment contract, it is prudent to consult with legal counsel regarding your options for safeguarding your interests. The New Jersey employment attorneys of Resnick Law Group can advise you of your rights under state and federal laws. We regularly assist employees in lawsuits arising out of employment contract disputes in New Jersey and New York. Negotiating an Employment Contract

Wrongful Termination
Like most states, New Jersey is an at-will employment state, which means that either party can end the employment relationship whenever they want and for any reason. There are exceptions, however. For example, if the employee has a contract with an employer, any termination must comply with the agreement's terms; otherwise, it may constitute a breach of contract. Additionally, employers cannot fire employees for being members of a protected class, since this constitutes discrimination and wrongful termination. Examples of protected classes include race, gender, age, disability, and sexual orientation. Nor can an employer terminate employees in retaliation for their good faith complaints about discrimination or other violation of the law.
Employment Discrimination
Federal, state, and local laws prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of race, gender, age, pregnancy, disability, religion, and sexual orientation. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces several federal antidiscrimination laws, such as Title VII. To bring a claim under these laws, you will need to file a charge with the EEOC first and obtain a Notice of Right to Sue.
Employment Contract
When an employer asks an employee to sign an employment contract, the employee should consult with legal counsel to understand the terms of the contract and how the different provisions benefit the employee or place undue restrictions on current or future employment. Specifically, an employment contract should contain clear provisions regarding the duration of the contract, compensation, benefits, times, and rates for any salary increases, and whether the contract is subject to renewal. The contract should also clearly explain the duties of the employee and the employer, and how any disputes between them should be resolved.
Employment Litigation
When an employer convinces a person to take a job with a false promise to pay a certain salary or provide specific perks or benefits, it can impair the individual’s finances and career and may cause emotional distress. If your employer engaged in fraud or misrepresentation to persuade you to accept a position, you should consult the assertive attorneys of Resnick Law Group to discuss your case.

Our office is in Roseland, and we regularly represent people in employment cases in cities throughout New Jersey, including parties in Somerset, Warren, Hudson, Essex, Monmouth, Morris, Hunterdon, Passaic, Union, Middlesex, Mercer, Bergen, and Sussex Counties.

Non-compete Agreement
When employers ask their employees to sign a non-compete agreement, these contracts are usually drafted by company attorneys with only the employer’s interest in mind. Thus, they may restrict an employee from working in the same field or for a competitor in the same field. In many instances, a non-compete agreement will limit an employee’s activities for an extended amount of time or will restrict future employment from a wide geographic area after the employee separates from the employer. Sometimes, these contracts may prevent an employee from engaging in certain types of job activities for other entities while the employee is employed by the employer. As such, employees are often faced with the difficult decision of turning down or leaving a job due to disagreements over the terms of a non-compete agreement or being bound by an agreement that restricts the employee’s ability to find gainful employment in the same field in the future. As such, any employee presented with a non-compete agreement should speak with a lawyer to avoid unwittingly waiving important rights that impacts present and future employment prospects. Enforceability of Non-Compete Agreements
Severance Agreement
When people lose their jobs, their main concern is typically the loss of income and benefits the job provided. Many people are fortunate enough to be entitled to severance, which can help provide financial security during an uncertain time. Employers often have sophisticated professionals draft their severance agreements, though, and they do not always provide employees with the compensation they deserve. If you were recently terminated or laid off, it is in your best interest to speak with legal counsel regarding whether you may be entitled to a severance, and what form your severance agreement negotiations should take. The knowledgeable New Jersey employment lawyers of Resnick Law Group are proficient at helping employees negotiate a variety of contracts, including severance agreements, and we will assertively advocate on your behalf to help you strive for a beneficial outcome. Required Severance
Sexual Harassment
While many people have to contend with difficult personalities in the workplace, no one should be subjected to behavior that constitutes harassment. When harassment (including but not limited to sexual harassment ) occurs in the workplace, that harassment can create a hostile work environment. A hostile work environment not only makes going to work unbearable for the person being harassed, but it can also result in significant financial losses. If you are being harassed at work, you may be able to recover damages from your employer. The dedicated New Jersey harassment lawyers of Resnick Law Group are committed to helping victims of workplace harassment seek redress for their harm, and we zealously advocate for their rights. We frequently represent parties in employment lawsuits in New Jersey and in New York. Legal Protections from Harassment and Hostile Work Environments

Disability Discrimination
In this case brought in the U.S. District Court of New York, a disabled employee of the Parks Department brought an action against the county, employee's direct supervisor, and two co-workers, alleging that employee was discriminated against on basis of his disability, in violation of federal and state law, when co-workers subjected him to harassment during course of his employment. In denying Defendants’ motion to dismiss the case, the court held that plaintiff stated a “class-of-one” equal protection claim against employee's co-workers; the plaintiff stated a municipal liability claim under § 1983 against county; and plaintiff established disability discrimination and hostile work environment claims under the New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL). The case was eventually settled.
