3This program has been approved by the Pennsylvania Continuing Legal education board for 3 hours of CLe credit in substantive law.
AgendaCompare the significant similarities and differencesthere are significant differences between New Jersey and pennsylvania employment law. our experienced faculty will highlight some of the key distinctions and examine the laws, issues and practice challenges that Pennsylvania employment lawyers need to know to effectively represent clients under New Jersey law.
Hear defendant and plaintiff lawyers’ perspectivesWe’ve teamed up plaintiff and defense attorneys to identify both perspectives. they’ll discuss jurisdiction issues, procedures and remedies under New Jersey’s statutes and case law. Whether you represent the employee or employer, if your next case involves discrimination, harassment or retaliation in the workplace, this course will help you develop the skills you need to confidently advise your client.
Delve into these areasWhistleblowing & Wrongful Discharge – New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA or “Whistleblower Act”) provides protection from retaliatory action for employees who “blow the whistle” on their employers. there is almost no case law in pennsylvania on whistleblowing. but in New Jersey, there is a huge body of law on whistleblower claims.
Discrimination – New Jersey’s Law against discrimination (Lad) protects employees who are harassed or discriminated against when they are members of a “protected class.” What are the key distinctions in this law compared to pa’s Human Relations act, and how are core protections different in NJ? NJ’s Lad protects many more classes than pa. discover how procedures and remedies are totally different.
Get answers to these questions• What is New Jersey’s new minimum wage rate?• How often do employers have to pay compensation in New Jersey?• How does federal law stack on New Jersey law?• What are the jurisdictional implications for employers headquartered
in New Jersey with employees outside of the state?• does New Jersey law provide remedies for false claims on government
contracts or fraudulent Medicare claims by hospitals or doctors?
