Now unemployment sent a letter that the boss is refusing and listing different reason for the dismissal. Letter was received Friday and the appeal is letter is due on Monday.

Your boss is probably providing as a reason for separation that there was poor performance or "misconduct". You should definitely file the appeal and provide your evidence. If you would like to discuss further, please contact me at 201-488-2600.

Yes. It would be viewed as a voluntary quit. Companies can mandate vaccines unless you have a medical or religious exemption.
I read somewhere he had to give me 60 days , could that make legal ground to sue
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.

To properly answer your question a lawyer would need to review the entire agreement and any other information regarding your relationship and payments.
I worked one year of the 2 year contract as a physician in NJ private practice group. I would like to leave. Company is saying they are gonna hold me to my 2 year contract. can they do that? can I tell them that its illegal?
Whether the company can enforce the contract and sue you for a breach if you leave before 2 years is dependent on the language in your contract. You should contact an employment law attorney in your area to review the contact terms and discuss your options.
The answer to this question will depend on the language that is in the contract, but generally, once a contract is signed (and assuming you weren't coerced or forced into signing), it becomes binding.
According to our US Constitution, Federal and State Citied Laws, this is absolutely illegal and unlawful to require or lose your job.
It is not unlawful for your employer to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine as a condition of employment. However, your employer is obligated to consider exemption requests if they are based on medical or religious reasons.
Isn’t this coercion and undue influence? Isn’t this a violation of the Informed Consent Law?

Thank you!
Generally speaking, in the employment law context, you can only request to not be required to have it if you have a religious objection or a disability/medical condition. I would reach out to an employment law attorney in your state for a consultation.
New Jersey is an at-will state, but that does not apply to employees who have a contract with the employer, and it does not permit employers to terminate employees for unlawful reasons, such as retaliation or discrimination. Employers have the right to mandate that employees get the COVID-19... Read more »
The person who is responsible for the job is available but I'm still instructed to do it
A job description is not a contract. An employer generally has the ability to add or remove job duties at any time for any reason. Unless you have a contract explicitly outlining the duties you will be responsible for performing, there is no legal recourse available to you.
but the person only received one year probation no jail time. and was told it could be expunged in 5 years they were charged in 2018. and finish their probation in 2019.
Whether a person can work in a Delaware school district is a question for someone familiar with Delaware law, but in terms of expungement, if the offense is eligible for expungement under all of the other variables, the 5 year waiting period begins at the completion of probation.

The Fair Labor Standards Act is the federal law that governs the payment of wages, and it only requires that you be paid for time you are actually performing work. So, while employers have the option to pay employees for time off for illness or injury, it is not required under the FLSA.
I reside in Northern Jersey and I know employment laws vary by state. Additionally, the store closed down at 1 PM anyways which was my original start time. I lost vacation hours for hours I could not work due to the store being closed early and for calling out due to inclement weather (snow storm).... Read more »
Since there is no law that requires employers to offer vacation time or other paid time off, employers can use employees' vacation time to provide pay during days the employee calls off or during days the building cannot open.
