Q: My employer of 13 years had just eliminated my position and gave me a notice of few days 15 or so days Is that legal ???
I read somewhere he had to give me 60 days , could that make legal ground to sue
A: Unless you have an employment contract that states otherwise, New Jersey is an at-will employment state, meaning you or your employer can terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason or no reason, and no notice is required.

A: it depends. Most employment in NJ is employment at will which means you can be fired without any notice. I would need to know if you have an employment contract, if you're a member of a union, etc.
