In other words, corporation and tax laws view the corporation as a distinct legal “person,” meaning that the corporation can enter into contracts, incur debts, and pay taxes apart from its owners. And there are other important characteristics that result from the corporation’s separate existence: A corporation in New Jersey does not end  [ Read More ]

However, New Jersey also recognizes that the worker owes a duty of undivided loyalty to act solely for — and in the best interests of — his or her employer. The worker’s right, therefore, does not curtail his duty to his employer, a New Jersey Appellate Division court has confirmed. Baseline Services, Inc. v. Kutz, 2011 N.J. Super. Unpub.
