EMPLOYMENT LAW
ENSURING JUSTICE FOR EVERY EMPLOYEE
Employment law protects workers’ rights, ensuring fair treatment and a safe, equitable workplace. Donabedian Law fights for employees facing unlawful practices and workplace injustices.
Types of Employment Law
Wrongful Termination
Wrongful termination claims arise when an employee is fired in violation of federal or state laws, such as discrimination, retaliation, or breach of contract. These claims ensure that employees are protected from unjust dismissal and can seek appropriate compensation for their loss.
Retaliation and Whistleblower Claims
Retaliation and whistleblower claims are made when an employer punishes an employee for engaging in legally protected activities, such as reporting illegal conduct or unsafe practices. Employees can seek compensation and protection from further retaliation when they report wrongdoing in the workplace.
Workplace Discrimination
Workplace discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, or religion. Employees who experience discriminatory practices in hiring, firing, or promotion can file a claim to seek justice and compensation for the harm they’ve suffered.
Wage and Hour Disputes
Wage and hour disputes involve conflicts over pay, overtime, or work hours that violate labor laws. These claims ensure that employees receive the wages they’re entitled to, including overtime pay, minimum wage, and proper compensation for all hours worked.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment claims involve unwelcome behavior or advances of a sexual nature in the workplace, which can create a hostile work environment or lead to retaliation. Victims of sexual harassment are entitled to file claims to hold employers accountable and seek compensation for emotional distress and lost wages.
Hostile Work Environments
A hostile work environment occurs when an employee faces harassment, discrimination, or abusive behavior that interferes with their ability to work. Employees subjected to this environment have the right to take legal action and seek remedies for the emotional distress and professional harm they have endured.
FAQs
The Fight For Justice Starts Here
What is wrongful termination, and how can I prove it?
Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired in violation of their rights, such as being dismissed for discriminatory reasons, in retaliation for reporting misconduct, or in breach of a contract. To prove wrongful termination, you must demonstrate that the termination was unlawful, supported by evidence like emails, witness statements, or documentation of protected activities.
How can I file a workplace discrimination claim?
To file a workplace discrimination claim, you must report the discriminatory behavior to your employer or file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or your state’s labor agency. It’s crucial to gather evidence such as emails, witness statements, or records that show how you were treated unfairly based on characteristics like race, gender, or age.
What should I do if I experience sexual harassment at work?
If you experience sexual harassment at work, it’s important to report the behavior to your employer immediately, either through formal complaint channels or directly to HR. Document all incidents of harassment, including dates, times, and any communication, and seek legal advice to explore your options for filing a claim if necessary.
What rights do I have if I am denied overtime pay?
If you are denied overtime pay despite working more than 40 hours a week, you may have a right to pursue compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Ensure you track your hours worked, and if your employer refuses to pay you for overtime, contact a legal professional to discuss your options for recovering unpaid wages.
