Employment law provides legal recourse for many issues that you may face in the workplace.
These include but are not limited to the following.
Wrongful termination: This occurs when an employee is fired for unlawful reasons, such as discrimination, retaliation for whistleblowing, or violations of a written employment contract.
Workplace discrimination: Although discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics is prohibited by law, it still exists in many workplaces.
Harassment: Workplace harassment, including sexual harassment or creating a hostile work environment, is illegal and can significantly affect employees.
Wage and hour disputes: Under the law, employees have the right to fair pay, overtime compensation, and proper breaks. Disputes often arise due to unpaid wages, misclassification of employees, or violations of wage laws.
Leave and time off: Employees may take up to 12 weeks of job-protected unpaid leave for family or medical reasons within 24 months. Earned sick leave is also allowed.
Retaliation: Employers cannot retaliate against employees who report misconduct, file complaints, or take legal action to enforce their rights. Retaliation can take many forms, including demotions, threats, or adverse changes to job conditions.
