Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey
My wife and I believe that she was wrongfully terminated from her former employer. The other individual involved in the incident was terminated under the guise of "Not following company policy" while my wife was terminated for 'Theft" which was not proven. Does she have any recourse?

You do not provide enough information for me to answer your question. In general, New Jersey is an "employment at will" state and in the absence of an employment contract, your wife's employer can terminate her at any time, for any reason or no reason at all, subject to protections she has under federal and state non-discrimination laws. However, there may be some facts of her termination that would support a claim against her former employer. She should contact an employment law attorney who is familiar with New Jersey's laws in this area for advice.
