Under New Jersey law most employees are considered “at-will” employees.  This means that such individuals are employed at the will of their employer and their employment may be terminated for any reason that is not discriminatory.  Certain types of employees (e.g. professionals, management positions, certain sales personnel, etc.) are not “at-will” employees.  These types of employees generally execute written employment agreements which among other things defines their duties, responsibilities, benefits, compensation, deferred compensation (if applicable), specific grounds for termination and post-employment restrictions, if any.  At Kulzer & DiPadova, we have extensive experience in preparing and/or reviewing employment agreements both for the employee as well as the employer.
