Work-related Claims such as “Fraudulent Inducement” and Defamation

In addition to the protection afforded by a broad array of federal, state, and city employment discrimination laws, as well as contractual guarantees, workplace tort laws also protect employees against wrongs of another kind, such as fraudulent inducement and defamation.

If your employer has misled you with regard to your employment, such as making false representations as to future earnings or responsibilities, and you relied upon these promises, then you may have a claim of fraudulent inducement and may be entitled to compensation.

Similarly, if an employer or co-worker makes or publishes false statements about a worker’s performance or record that injures that employee’s reputation, they may also be entitled to compensation.
