Lyndhurst, New Jersey Lawyers Fighting Fraud by Employers

Companies often make big promises to employees to convince them to accept their job offers. For example, they might offer excellent salary and benefits, promise to provide staff and financial support to help you succeed at your job, claim the company has an excellent financial track record, or assure you that you will have long-term job security. 

But unfortunately companies sometimes exaggerate or outright lie when they are hiring new employees. Sometimes these types of fraud or misrepresentation by employers can be legally actionable.

The ideal way to protect you from these types of false promises is to enter into a clear written employment contact. However, that is not always a viable option. But even if you do not have an employment contract, you could have a legal claim if your new employer lied to convince you to accept its job offer. More specifically, you might have a claim for employment fraud or misrepresentation.

Employment fraud most commonly occurs when a company makes false promises to convince you to leave another job, relocate from another state, or make other significant financial or personal commitments. In New Jersey this can be legally actionable even if you were hired as an employee at-will, meaning someone who can be fired for almost any reason or even for no reason at all.

The Township of Lyndhurst is located in Bergen County, New Jersey, between the Hackensack River and the Passaic River. Lyndhurst was first settled by the Dutch, followed by the English and the Polish. It was established as a Township in 1917. Prior to that, it was part of what was known as Union Township, which initially included East Rutherford and North Arlington. Even earlier, Lyndhurst had been part of Lodi Township, and before that it was part of Harrison Township.

During the Industrial Revolution, as manufacturing grew, many Irish and German families settled in Lyndhurst. More recently, many Asian and Middle Eastern immigrants have moved to the Township. The 2020 census calculated the population of Lyndhurst to include slightly more than 22,000 residents. The total area of Lyndhurst is approximately 4.9 square miles. The eastern portion of Lyndhurst is a section of the New Jersey Meadowlands.
