Employment Law

Federal and State statutes govern a wide variety of issues in the workplace. All forms of discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation and a hostile work environment are covered under employment law as well as disputes between employers and employees involving wrongful termination, employee benefits, or negotiating severance and employment agreements.

According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, discrimination is the source of the most commonly reported conflict in the workplace. Job related discrimination takes on many forms from age, race, gender, sexual, and religious, to marital status and national origin discrimination.  Discrimination may occur on all levels of the hiring process and during the course of employment including, but not limited to:

• Recruitment
• Job advertisements
• Testing
• Hiring and termination
• Compensation
• Assignment or classification of employees
• Transfer, promotion, layoff and recalls
• Use of company facilities
• Training and apprenticeship programs
• Fringe benefits
• Retirement plans
• Disability leave

If you believe your employer is violating your rights, it is wise to consult with an experienced employment law attorney at the onset. With legal advice and guidance, you may be able to correct the problem before your work environment becomes entirely unbearable or before you are fired.
