Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

Re: non-compete covenants

If you have an employment contract, then it is possible that you can claim that your employer breached its contract with you by discriminating against you. However, without reviewing your employment contract and the non-compete agreement, I cannot provide you with more information. If you do not have an employment contract, then an attorney would look to see if you have entered into an implied contract with your employer. The best thing to do is to meet with a competent employment attorney to review the circumstances involved in your case. I suggest you visit the website for NJ-Nela, the New Jersey Chapter of the National Employment Law Association which provides a list of attorneys whom you can meet: http://www.nelanj.org/
