Cases commonly known as “whistleblower” claims are governed by the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act (“CEPA”). CEPA protects an employee from retaliation or reprisal for complaining about an employer’s practice or policy that the employee reasonably believes to be illegal, or in violation of a public policy. Employees who complain about illegal activities, or threaten to report those activities to the proper authorities, are protected under the law from being fired.
The attorneys in the Employment Practice Group at Golden Rothschild have successfully litigated numerous whistleblower cases under CEPA through trial and appeal, and regularly counsel clients in these types of matters.
