Going to work and earning a living are facts of life for residents of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. If you are lucky, you love what you do to earn your paycheck.

If you have been the unfortunate victim of illegal treatment in the workplace, by your employer or co-workers, we invite you to speak to an experienced New Jersey employment law attorney at Garber Law, P.C.

We also have experience helping employees who want to “blow the whistle” on their employers by working with the government to expose fraud.

Garber Law, P.C. Will Handle Your Employer Discrimination Claim

Employers have a duty to treat their employees and prospective employees fairly. They cannot discriminate in hiring or making promotion decisions based on an employee’s personal characteristics. They can’t fire you for discriminatory reasons, either.

Garber Law, P.C. knows the humiliation and loss that occurs when employees are treated unfairly. We have experience and have achieved considerable success in bringing claims against employers in state and federal courts and before state and federal agencies to hold the employer accountable.

Contact us right away if you have been discriminated against due to:

• Race
• Age
• Ancestry
• Disability
• Genetic information
• Gender
• Marital status
• National origin
• Political views
• Pregnancy
• Religion
• Sexual orientation

Additionally, if you’ve been treated poorly, including getting terminated or demoted because you took family leave time, this may be considered discrimination.

We Bring Claims For Sexual Harassment

Employers also have a duty to provide a work environment free from discrimination and abuse for all employees. If one or more employees is being made to feel uncomfortable because of the illegal behavior of others or the employer themselves, that is against employment law.

Environments, where employees have faced unwelcome sexual advances, requests for favors, or inappropriate verbal or physical conduct that affects someone’s ability to perform their work, may be considered sexual harassment.

• State and federal laws apply to men and women and can involve improper conduct by anyone under the control of the company.
• This means if you are being forced to endure unwanted sexual behavior or language or other inappropriate actions, your employer can be held responsible – even if the culprit is another employee.
• The employer must take appropriate action to stop the unwanted behavior as soon as they are informed.
• If you are being forced to hear or witness acts of sexual harassment perpetrated on another individual, you may still have a claim.

Employers are prohibited from retaliating if an employee files a complaint or testifies on behalf of another employee who files a claim. At Garber Law, P.C., we have two priorities: stopping the harassment and getting you compensated to the fullest extent of the law.

We Bring Whistleblower Claims

It stands to reason that business owners and other responsible for running businesses should be operating ethically, obeying laws and dealing fairly with state and local governments and governmental agencies. However, when a company doesn’t follow these guidelines, it’s often an employee who uncovers the wrongdoing first.

If an employee learns about inappropriate or illegal actions being taken by his or her employee and decides to report them, this is known as a “whistleblower” claim. The employee is said to be blowing the whistle on the wrongdoing. If successful in bringing the claim, the whistleblower may be entitled to a percentage of any award.

Examples Of Whistleblower Claims

The experienced attorneys at Garber Law, P.C. will help you decide which forum (federal or local) is the appropriate and best place to bring the lawsuit. We bring cases for all types of employer government fraud. These are some of the more common types of fraud:

• Medical fraud – Medical billing and medical service fraud including Medicare and Medicaid fraud
• Tax fraud – Providing false information or trying to deceive the Internal Revenue Service
• Financial Fraud – False billing and deceptive billing practices
