Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey
Termination
I answered an ad in a local paper for a parts manager Dec. 2007, after 3 interviews each lasting an hour or better and several phone calls, I was hired 2-25-2008 because I was just what they were looking for, after only 3 weeks I was called in and told they had made a mistake creating the position and would have to let me go.
Is this illegal or just irresponsible.

Re: Termination
There is not much that you can do about your employer's poor business planning. However, if there is a written offer that promises a term of employment, you may have enforceable rights. The same would be true if you had to relocate or if you incurred substantial expenses when you changed jobs.
