Yes, if you are successful in your CEPA case, you will be entitled to financial compensation for the harm that your employer’s retaliatory actions caused.  This compensation includes compensation for lost wages, both past and future, if applicable, lost employment benefits, attorneys’ fees and other legal costs, emotional distress and any other economic losses that you can show occurred because of your employer’s actions.  In some cases, punitive damages may even be available to punish your employer for the wrongdoing. You may also request to be reinstated in the position that you would rightfully be entitled to occupy if the retaliation had never occurred. Importantly, the economic damages recoverable under CEPA are not capped under New Jersey law, so you are entitled to recover the full and fair amount to which you are entitled.
