New Jersey Federal Court Says Remote Employee’s Retaliation Claims Belong in Pennsylvania
The U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey ruled that a claim by a remote employee in New Jersey over her Pennsylvania employer’s attempt to end her remote work arrangement, which allowed her to work from home in New Jersey, belongs in federal court in Pennsylvania. The court found that the fact that a remote employee physically worked in New Jersey was not a sufficient tie to keep her claims there, in a key ruling on whether employers must face employment claims in the states where they are based or the states where their remote workers reside.
