An Overview of Employment Law Cases We Handle in Hudson County
Your relationship with your employer matters. As an employee in Hudson County, you could find yourself dealing with a complex workplace issue in a number of different contexts. Charles Z. Schalk is a top New Jersey employment lawyer with experience handling a broad range of cases. Along with other types of legal issues, our Hudson County employment lawyer has experience with:
- Sexual Harassment: No worker should be forced to endure workplace sexual misconduct—whether it is from a supervisor, co-worker, or customer/client. Our Hudson County sexual harassment lawyer is committed to protecting the rights of victims.
- Workplace Discrimination: We handle all types of workplace discrimination cases in Hudson county, including race discrimination, gender discrimination, age discrimination, disability discrimination, and much more. If you were the victim of any type of mistreatment in the workplace based on a protected characteristic, our Hudson County lawyer can help.
- Whistleblower Protection: Whistleblower protection laws exist to help protect the insider employees who report illegal or unethical conduct by their employer. These laws protect workers against adverse action (retaliation) because of their whistleblowing activity.
- Wrongful Discharge: Even though New Jersey is an at-will employment state, wrongful discharge occurs when an employee is fired for illegal reasons—such as for discrimination or retaliation. Our Hudson County wrongful termination lawyers have deep experience.
- Wage and Hour Claims: Wage and hour claims involve violations of laws related to minimum wage, overtime pay, meal breaks, and unpaid wages. As an employee, you may have a claim under either New Jersey law or the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
- Reasonable Accommodations: Disabled workers should be able to enjoy fair and equal access to opportunities in the workplace. Failure to make proper accommodations—such as a modified work schedule—may violate anti-discrimination laws, such as the ADA or LAD.
- Failure to Hire/Promote: A worker in Hudson County may have a failure to promote claim if they are a qualified candidate and are denied employment or promotion for unlawful reasons—such as discrimination on the basis of race, gender, age, or disability
- Contract Negotiations: Our Hudson County employment attorney has extensive experience representing workers in contract negotiations. Whether you are negotiating an initial employment agreement, a severance agreement, or any other type of contract, we can help.
- Unlawful Retaliation: Unlawful retaliation happens when an employer punishes an employee for asserting their legal rights, such as filing a complaint for discrimination. If you were illegally retaliated against in Hudson County, we are here to help.
- Employee Benefits: As an employee in Hudson County, your benefits matter. They are a key part of your overall compensation package. If you have any questions about employee benefits, our team is here as a resource that you can trust.

“Mr. Schalk obviously obtained a very successful verdict in a very very difficult case. This Court had an opportunity to observe Mr. Schalk throughout the trial. He certainly performed at an extremely high level . . . And to obtain the verdict that he did is a rare case . . . I feel very strongly that Mr. Schalk’s work in this case was at a very high level, a superior level and that if the 100 percent enhancement of the lodestar is in the rare case this would be the rare case in which Mr. Schalk would be entitled to that.”*”
