QUESTION
My New Jersey employment contract guarantees two weeks notice
Asked on Jun 05th, 2017 on Employment Contracts - New Jersey
More details to this question:
My employment contract with a New Jersey company says that I am an at will employee, but it also says the employer has to give me two weeks notice if I am terminated without cause. Which prevails here, the contractual obligation of two weeks notice or the fact that at will employees can be terminated without notice? I was laid off without cause and without notice, along with 200 coworkers who had the same contract as I did.

Whatever label may have been put on your employment in the contract, you are not an at will employee if you have a contract requiring two weeks' notice of termination.
