For both employers and employees, workplace safety and security are essential for your personal well-being and professional success. Our employment attorneys can represent your interests when employment law questions and disputes arise.
Wage and Hour Claims
Employees deserve to be paid for the time they work. If your employer is not complying with employment wage and hour laws, you have the right to seek compensation. An employer may fail to pay you a minimum wage, prevent or discourage you from taking mandated rest and meal breaks, deduct unlawful amounts from your paycheck, or fail to pay you properly for working overtime. You deserve compensation for lost wages and time, and an employment attorney could help you obtain it.
Employers could avoid potential claims by reviewing their own policies and ensuring they are compliant with state and federal labor law. This can help you protect the future of your business, and it creates a safer environment for you and your employees.
Discrimination and Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment and discrimination are illegal and create unsafe and difficult environments for employees. While you complete your work as an employee, you should not have to fear discrimination, a hostile work environment, or quid pro quo sexual harassment. Unfortunately, these traumatic situations happen often in many different industries.
Discrimination and harassment are violations of your employee rights. When your workplace is failing to address your concerns, you need to bring your case to an attorney who can provide you with concise and effective advice on the options available to you.
