Standing Up for Employees Across Northern New Jersey

Employment disputes are deeply personal. Losing a job, having your hours reduced, or enduring harassment can affect your finances, your health, and your sense of self. Many workers feel intimidated and hesitate to speak up because they fear retaliation or dismissal.

Our employment lawyers represent employees, executives, managers, hourly workers, independent contractors and professionals across northern New Jersey in a wide range of workplace disputes. We fight to protect your job, your income, and your reputation while pursuing a fair outcome on your behalf.

Types of Employment Law Cases We Handle

Our Denville employment law attorneys handle a comprehensive range of workplace claims. Each case is evaluated carefully to determine your rights, your remedies, and the best strategy for moving forward.

Below are key areas where we help workers seek justice:

• Employment Discrimination

Employment discrimination occurs when an employer mistreats you because of who you are, rather than how you perform. Discrimination can take many forms, including denial of promotions, pay disparities, unfair treatment, or termination.

We protect workers who have experienced discrimination based on protected characteristics under New Jersey and federal law.

• Wrongful Termination

Not every firing is legal. You may have been wrongfully terminated if your employer fired you for a discriminatory reason or in retaliation for asserting your rights. Wrongful termination is not always apparent. Employers sometimes hide illegal motives behind claims of poor performance, restructuring, or budget reductions. Our attorneys will closely examine the underlying reasons for your termination or demotion in relation to its timing to determine whether your employer violated your rights.

• Age Discrimination

Older workers are sometimes pushed aside to make room for younger, less experienced – and less expensive – employees. If you have been replaced, laid off, demoted, or harassed because you are 40 years old or older, you may have a claim for age discrimination.

We work to hold employers accountable when they punish workers for accumulating years of experience and dedication.

• Disability Discrimination

Employees with physical or mental impairments are entitled to reasonable accommodations that allow them to perform their essential job duties. When employers refuse to discuss reasonable accommodations, discipline employees for pursuing necessary medical care, or push them out entirely, they may have violated federal and state employment laws.

Our attorneys help employees seek reasonable accommodation for their needs and obtain justice after discriminatory treatment.

• Gender Discrimination

Gender discrimination can involve unequal pay, exclusion from advancement, stereotyping, or denial of opportunities based on sex or gender. These cases often include ongoing patterns of misconduct, rather than single, isolated incidents.

We advocate for employees whose careers have been unfairly limited because of their gender.

• Pregnancy Discrimination

Pregnancy should never cost someone their job or career. If an employer refuses reasonable accommodations for your condition, reduces your hours, or terminates you because of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, your legal rights may have been violated.

We help protect pregnant workers, their families and their futures from unlawful discrimination.

• Race Discrimination

Race discrimination remains one of the most painful and harmful forms of workplace injustice. It can include overt harassment or subtle but persistent unequal treatment.

The Law Offices of G. Martin Meyers stands firmly against employers who engage in bias based on race, color, national origin, or ethnicity.

• Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment can take many forms, including unwelcome comments, inappropriate messages, hostile environments, or pressure to offer sexual favors in exchange for job benefits.

No one should feel unsafe or humiliated at work. We help victims of sexual harassment take action while protecting their rights.

• Family and Medical Leave Violations

Certain employees are entitled to job-protected leave for medical conditions, childbirth, or to care for family members. Employers cannot retaliate against workers for requesting or using legally protected family and medical leave.

We help employees who have been wrongfully denied leave or punished for using family or medical leave.

• Wage and Hour Violations

Workers deserve to be paid fairly and on time. Wage and hour violations can include unpaid overtime, withholding wages, illegal paycheck deductions, or misclassifying employees as independent contractors.

Our attorneys pursue compensation for employees who have not been paid for their work.

What to Do if You Believe Your Employer Broke the Law

If you suspect your employer has acted unlawfully, it is vital that you take the steps necessary to protect your job and your potential claim for relief. Many workers unintentionally forfeit valuable rights simply because they do not know what to do next.

Consider the following:

• Keep copies of emails, texts, performance reviews, and written warnings.
• Save your pay stubs, schedules, and employment agreements.
• Document incidents while they are fresh in your mind.
• Avoid posting about your case on social media.
• Speak with our experienced employment attorneys before resigning and before signing any agreements.

Our team can review your situation on a strictly confidential basis and help you understand the next steps.
