Wage and Hour Compliance has jurisdiction in termination cases only when the termination results from a wage complaint. Terminating an employee for making a complaint is a violation of the law and will result in fines as well as a disorderly persons offense. It may also result in other legal action being taken against you.

If the employment was terminated for any other reason, staff in Wage and Hour Compliance cannot provide assistance. New Jersey is an "employment-at-will" state, meaning that either an employer or employee may end employment at any time, without reason or notice.
