State and federal laws against unsafe and unfair employment practices are extensive. There may be many requirements about which you are simply unaware, and many more that you may not fully understand. With that said, countless employment lawsuits arise from dissatisfied current employees or bitter former employees who use legal action to settle the score. Unfortunately, this can put you in a tenuous, frightening position. If you are facing a legal issue with employment, you’ve come to the right place. The New Jersey employment attorneys at our firm defend clients accused of:
The other form of evidence used in employment cases is called direct evidence. This type is rather self-explanatory, involving tangible documentation of misconduct. Direct evidence that may be admitted includes, but is not limited to: documents, pictures, videos, text messages, emails, social media messages, and audio recordings. The rules and requirements of evidence are highly nuanced, determining what can and cannot be used against you. When you are accused of workplace misconduct, you need an attorney who understands the complex rules of evidence and can use these to your advantage in court.
If you are dealing with an employment lawsuit or may face litigation for unlawful work practices, you may be wondering what types of evidence are involved in these cases. There are two primary forms of evidence that may be submitted in an employment law case in New Jersey. When a plaintiff, employee, or another individual is called to provide statements about your conduct, this is known as circumstantial evidence. This type of evidence is the most frequently used in employment law cases. When accusations are raised about what you have said or done to another person or group of people in a work setting, this often gives rise to the “he said, she said” scenarios discussed in today’s media coverage.
