Employment Law

Employment Law

Employment law in New Jersey encompasses a range of legal protections and regulations that govern the relationship between employers and employees. This can be a very complex and confusing area of legal practice. New Jersey follows both federal and state-specific statutes. These statutes cover concepts such as discrimination, wages, and workplace safety. Key laws include the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD), which prohibits discrimination based on protected characteristics, and the New Jersey Wage and Hour Law, which mandates minimum wage and overtime pay. Additionally, New Jersey offers protections for employees regarding family leave, as outlined in the New Jersey Family Leave Act.

Nonprofit Law

Nonprofit Law

New Jersey nonprofit law governs the formation, operation, and dissolution of nonprofit organizations within the state, ensuring compliance with both state and federal regulations. Nonprofits must adhere to specific registration requirements, including filing the Certificate of Incorporation with the state. Additionally, obtaining federal tax-exempt status under IRS 501(c)(3) or other relevant provisions can be crucial for nonprofits seeking to operate as charitable entities, enabling them to receive tax-deductible donations. Compliance with the state's disclosure and reporting obligations is essential to maintain transparency and uphold public trust in the nonprofit sector.
