Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

Thank you for your LawGuru question. Unfortunately for employees, the general rule of employment in 49 states is: at-will. This means an employer can terminate an employee or change any aspect of the job, at any time, without advance notice, for good reason, bad reason, or no reason at all. There are exceptions to the rule, but I'd need more information before I could advise you. Please contact me ASAP so that we may explore your options and protect your legal rights. 973-921-0600.

Kindly note and remember that my response is merely a general comment on the law related to your question, and NOT legal advice or opinion. Also, your question and my response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between us. You cannot rely upon what I have written, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you or render an opinion. Even simple facts you have not shared can completely change my answer. For me to give you legal advice or opinion, you would need to hire me to be your lawyer, and then we would need to discuss this in detail and go over the documents.
