While New Jersey has long had a reputation as one of the states with laws most favorable to employees, along with California and a few others, the environment here is not quite as favorable as it once was.
This turn for the worse is largely due to a more conservative New Jersey Supreme Court, which, 25 years ago, was one of the leading courts in developing the law protecting the rights of employees.
That, unfortunately, is no longer the case.
Nonetheless, New Jersey's employment laws, and the court decisions interpreting them, still remain significantly stronger than those in the vast majority of states.

We would like to see non-compete agreements outlawed-or at a minimum severely restricted- in the State of New Jersey.
We make that statement because we have seen over the years the harm that non-compete agreements can do to employees in this State who have been tied down to a non-compete agreement.
A non-compete agreement can turn an employee into an indentured servant.
To begin with, non-compete agreements are often so broadly written that they will bar an employee who has signed one from finding a job - for a year, two, or even three -- in the only field in which he has ever worked.
