- Q. Is my job supposed to not pay my bonus at all or should they be prorating it until my return?
- A: Paying employees who are on a maternity leave less favorably or differently than employees who are not on such a leave can potentially support a claim for discrimination, retaliation and violation of wage and hour law. You should hire an employment lawyer for advice on your rights and the best course of action.
- Q. Can an employer in NJ force an office worker back into the office one day a week under EO 107?
- A: If an employee has a need to work from home for a medical reason (COVID-19 or otherwise) including pregnancy, to quarantine, to take care of a sick family member or to care for a child who has to participate in school at home, the employee could have rights to request a full work from home schedule under various state and federal laws. However unless one of those scenarios are present, an employer in New Jersey would be permitted to require employees to report into the office if they take measures to minimize potential exposure to COVID-19 for those working in the office.
- Q. NewJersey- offer letter fr employment states that 2 months notice is needed or I have to pay 2 mnths salary - legal?
- A: In New Jersey employment is at will unless there is a contract between the employee and the employer. You should consult an employment attorney to advise you on your employment documents. This answer does not constitute legal advice and is for information only.
