We represent clients throughout the county, including Somerville, Bridgewater, Franklin Township, Hillsborough, Bernards Township, Bound Brook and the surrounding communities.
What Is Workplace Retaliation in Somerset County?
Retaliation happens when an employer takes adverse action—like firing, demotion, discipline, or unfair scheduling—because an employee engaged in protected activity. Even in “at-will” workplaces, retaliation for exercising legal rights is unlawful under state and federal law.
Attorneys at our law firm are well versed in handling claims involving:
- Whistleblower retaliation under the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA)
- Retaliation after filing valid workers’ compensation claims
- FMLA and New Jersey Family Leave Act (NJFLA) retaliation
- Retaliation for reporting discrimination, harassment or unsafe conditions
- Retaliation for pursuing wage-and-hour claims
We regularly represent clients at the Somerset County Courthouse in Somerville and understand local filing rules, judges’ procedures, and timelines—knowledge that strengthens your case.
