Wage and Hour Lawyer: You are entitled to be paid minimum wage for all hours worked, employment and overtime spend for going beyond a set variety of hours per week (generally 40). Meal and rest breaks might also be compensated depending on your area and company.
Unwanted Sexual Advances: Unwanted sexual advances unfortunately continues to effect individuals of all genders and gender identifications. The Employment Lawyers Group has actually tried and managed many cases for males and females including undesirable sexual touching, sexual attack, sexual battery, quid pro quo unwanted sexual advances done by supervisors, supervisors, and company owner. These days many unwanted sexual advances cases also involve undesirable text messages and profane images sent out to cellphones. Our work consists of appeals worrying unwanted sexual advances and life altering settlements.
Discrimination and Harassment: Federal and employment state laws forbid discrimination based upon race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, special needs, age (40 or older), or hereditary details. This consists of defense from harassment of any kind.
Reasonable Accommodation: If you have a documented medical condition, your company might be required to supply affordable accommodations to allow you to perform your job tasks. Examples consist of versatile work schedules, customized equipment, or available work spaces. However, a lot of cases submitted in court for employers refusing to fairly accommodate staff members involves companies who fired an employee for not coming back to work when they are out on an impairment, FMLA, employment or pregnancy leave. Allowing time off for a staff member’s medical condition and treatment are fundamental sensible lodgings lots of employers do not effectively handle.
Workplace Safety: Your employer has a legal duty to offer a safe workplace free from recognized threats. This includes sticking to security guidelines and supplying appropriate training for staff members.
Wrongful Termination: Wrongful termination is a whistle blower tort. If a staff member grumbles about their company doing something unlawful and they are terminated that might be wrongful termination. Retaliation leading to a job termination is wrongful termination if it takes place due to the fact that the employee worked out statutory legal rights and was retaliated for exercising those rights. Examples consist of job terminations due to the employee submitting a wage claim, declining sexual harassment, reporting an employer to OSHA, internally complaining to management or refusing to take part in illegal activities, taking a legally safeguarded leave of lack for cancer, special needs, FMLA, or pregnancy. Firing an employee due to an immutable characteristic such as gender, race, or faith is likewise wrongful termination. Wrongful discharge IS NOT about unfair task terminations employees do not concur with that do not include among the above.
