Employment Contract Disputes In New Jersey
Employment contracts ensure that two or more parties stick to their word. When your employer refuses to honor an employment contract, it threatens your livelihood and professional development. In the event a partner or shareholder dispute arises, the aftermath can be devastating to your business.
The New Jersey law firm of Aiello Harris Abate, Law Group PC is your top resource for settling employment disputes. We understand your reputation and financial health are on the line, so we work swiftly to resolve conflicts effectively.
Types of contract disputes in New Jersey
Employment contracts can outline the terms of your employment and the terms of your eventual exit from the company. An agreement can ensure you are paid a fair salary, receive appropriate benefits, and are given fair termination terms. When those terms are not adhered to, it’s time to seek legal recourse from an attorney in New Jersey.
Contract conflicts, which may arise, often involve:
-
- Terms of your employment – including disparities in promised compensation, benefits, vacation time, leave, and more.
-
- Non-compete agreements – clauses that prevent you from gaining employment or starting a business in the same field.
-
- Non-disclosure agreements – provisions prohibiting you from disclosing proprietary information.
-
- Severance agreements – contracts providing a payout at the end of your employment.
Oral contract and handbook disputes
If you were made promises verbally, but not in writing, this may constitute an oral contract. Additionally, if your company has specific policies in place in an employee handbook and does not honor those policies, which could be grounds for a contract dispute.
New Jersey shareholder and partnership disputes
When you started your business with partners or shareholders, presumably, you created contracts to outline the specifics of the new venture. The agreement probably provided the rules of compensation, each partner’s responsibilities, and a clause to exit the deal. When a dispute arises between partners or shareholders, if an owner breaches their fiduciary duty, our employment law lawyers can settle these conflicts before they destroy your business.
