Under New Jersey workers’ compensation law, it is illegal for an employer to retaliate against a worker because they filed a claim for workers’ comp. If your employer undertakes an adverse action against you, such as terminating your employment, reducing your hours or wages, assigning you to undesirable work tasks, or reporting your immigration status to the authorities, you may have the right to recover additional compensation in a workers’ comp retaliation claim. In addition, even if your employer fires you or if you are deported, your employer remains liable to provide you with workers’ comp benefits.
