Understanding Employment Law - Individuals

Employment law governs the relationship between employers and employees. This area of law covers a wide range of issues, including hiring practices, compensation, working conditions, and termination. When an employee experiences difficulties with their employer, understanding their rights and available options is crucial. Our firm specializes in providing legal advice and representation to individual employees facing a variety of employment-related challenges.

Common Areas of Practice:

• Discrimination: We represent individuals who have experienced discrimination in the workplace based on protected characteristics such as race, religion, gender, age, disability, or national origin. This includes investigating claims, gathering evidence, and pursuing legal action to seek redress.
• Wrongful Termination: If you believe you were terminated without just cause, our attorneys can assess your situation and determine if you have grounds for a wrongful termination claim. We scrutinize employment contracts, company policies, and performance reviews to identify potential violations of your rights.
• Wage and Hour Disputes: Issues surrounding wages, overtime pay, and employee compensation are frequently encountered. We assist employees who have been misclassified, underpaid, or denied earned wages. We handle claims related to minimum wage, overtime calculations, and unlawful deductions from paychecks.
• Breach of Contract: Employment contracts often outline specific terms and conditions of employment. We advise clients on their contractual rights and obligations and represent them if an employer breaches the contract.
• Independent Contractor Misclassification: Determining whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor can have significant legal and financial implications. We help clarify these distinctions and address misclassification issues.
• Harassment and Hostile Work Environment: We represent individuals subjected to harassment, bullying, or a hostile work environment. This includes cases of sexual harassment and other forms of inappropriate conduct.
