What an Employee Law Attorney Can Do For You

If you are having legal issues in the workplace, or even just have questions about a potential situation, it’s to your best interest to speak to a lawyer to get your questions answered before things escalate.

Typical issues covered by employment law include:

• Discrimination. It is illegal to discriminate against anyone based on Gender, sexual orientation, race, age, national origin, disability, religion, or any other protected class.
• Wrongful termination. It is against the law to fire someone due to discrimination, certain breaches of contract, retaliation for whistleblowing, or taking leave for disability, illness, or family.
• Wage issues. Companies must adhere to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which establishes minimum wage and overtime pay standards.
• Family Medical Leave Act. Companies must follow the FMLA, a federal law. Eligible employees have the right to take unpaid leave with the right to return to their jobs for certain reasons, including serious illness, maternity/paternity leave, family issues, or military duty.
• Sexual harassment. Any unwanted sexual advances or workplace behaviors that create a hostile work environment, or are used to make employment decisions, are harassment and are against the law.
• Whistleblower laws. Whistleblower laws were designed to protect employees from retaliation for speaking out against illegal activity in the workplace.
