Lisa’s clients know they can count on her no matter how new or complicated their employment issue may be. Since COVID-19 started impacting our lives in a significant way in 2020, she has been working closely with employees and employers to come up with strategies and answers to questions not pondered before or contemplated including vaccine testing and mask mandates, keeping employees safe, flexible schedules, workplace safety-based accommodation requests, hybrid work, the great resignation, and more.

Legal Answers
14 Questions Answered
Q. Can an employer require me to sign a non compete agreement after I have already resigned? I am in food services.
A: An employee cannot withhold an employee's check for this reason in NJ. If this occurs you should file a wage claim with NJ Department of Labor. An employee has no obligation to sign such a document after resignation.
Q. Can a person be discriminated because of their religion at their place of employment.
A: It is unlawful to discriminate against an employee based on their religion under both federal, NY and NJ discrimination law. You should consult with an employment attorney to discuss your matter further and get advice on how to address this.
Q. Can a sick note that my doctor wrote on his prescription pad with all his information on it be rejected by my employer?
A: If the note wasn't signed, that could be why the employer is questioning it. If that is not the case or your employer takes some adverse action due to you being out sick with Covid, you should talk with an employment lawyer.
