The Law Firm of Morgan Rooks, PC exclusively represents employees in employment-related disputes. New Jersey and Pennsylvania are “at will” employment states — which means that an employer can terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without a reason. However, an employee cannot be terminated for an illegal reason. An illegal reason exists when an employee's termination is contra

ry to an established public policy or contrary to a statute. For example, the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) and Title VII prohibit terminations that are based on an employee's protected traits, such as a disability, skin color, race, sex, or pregnancy status, among other protected traits. Laws like the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA) protects an employee's right to complain about an unsafe workplace. In addition, CEPA protects an employees right to complain about an employer's violations of statutes and regulations. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the New Jersey Wage & Hour Law (NJWHL) protect an employee's right to complaint about the improper payment of wages and denial of overtime compensation. The bottom line is, an employer cannot legally terminate an employee for exercising protected rights or making protected complaints. Even though employment is generally "at-will," an employer's violation of certain statutes creates an exception to an at-will termination. Employers and their insurance carriers have attorneys on their side who are paid to extinguish the wrongful termination claims of employees.

Equal pay for equal work was the goal of the 1963 Equal Pay Act. This piece of federal legislation was meant to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act and ensure protections for those discriminated against based on their s*x. For decades, women have been given pennies on the dollar for their work when being compared to their male counterparts in the same job within the same industry. Although the law was initially created to help overcome the unfair pay gap historically targeting women, the courts have ruled that the act applies to all genders. The Federal Equal Pay Act is meant to level the playing field and ensure that both s*xes, male and female, get the same compensation for the same work.

The Law Firm of Morgan Rooks, P.C. is dedicated to advocating for New Jersey workers who may be being unfairly compensated for the work that they do. Is it fair that you pour just as much blood, sweat, and tears into your work as your co-workers and receive less than they do? The answer is simple, no. You deserve the same respect, pay, and benefits that your equals enjoy. Not only is this practice unfair, but it is also against the law.
