Fraud and Misrepresentation

Did Your Employer Lie before You Signed Your Contract?

A Law Firm Fighting Employment Fraud in New York and New Jersey

Some businesses are so poorly run that they must lie to attract employees. People give up stable jobs, move vast distances and significantly alter their lifestyles to take these jobs, only to find that the promises on which they based this life change were false.

This conduct can constitutes employment fraud, and it is very damaging to the lives and careers of its victims. If you were a victim of employment fraud, Resnick Nirenberg & Cash can help.

What Qualifies as Employment Fraud?

Employment fraud takes many forms, but it typically involves a material misrepresentation of any of the following aspects of employment:

  • Compensation
  • Job duties and responsibilities
  • The company's viability and prospects of success (mainly applicable to high level managerial and board positions)

So, if your employer promised you a specific salary, only to pay you a lower salary once you started the job, that may be the basis for a claim of employment fraud. Or, if you accepted a job because the company falsely promised that you would be managing a group of employees, that may be the basis for a claim of employment fraud.

Employment Fraud: Uprooting Victims' Lives with a Lie

The more drastically you changed your life for the position, the stronger your claim of employment fraud. Severe cases involve employees who relocate vast distances — sometimes immigrating to America from overseas on a work visa — for a job that turns out to be far worse than what they expected, or even nonexistent.
