Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

Failure of a company to comply with a letter agreement

In 1997 I received a letter agreement from a company stating I would receive 4 specific benefits for as long as I was employed by the company. In 1999 the company was sold to another company. Today the status of the benefits are; one benefit was replaced by money, two benefits were not honored and the fourth benefit (pension) only in part. I am still employed by the company. Am I entitled to all 4 benefits in total? Is there a statue of limitation in NJ? If so when does it end? THANKS

Re: Failure of a company to comply with a letter agreement

Unfortunately, the facts your supplied are insufficient to render any type of meaningful opinion. In general, the enforceability is based upon whether there is a contract or possibly detrimental reliance upon the representation. While I cannot assess this based upon what you have written, I would suggest that you have this matter reviewed by an attorney.
