Wage and Hour Lawyer: You are entitled to be paid base pay for all hours worked, and overtime pay for going beyond a set number of hours per week (normally 40). Meal and rest breaks may likewise be compensated depending on your place and employer.
Unwanted Sexual Advances: Unwanted sexual advances sadly continues to effect individuals of all genders and gender recognitions.

These days lots of unwanted sexual advances cases likewise include undesirable text messages and obscene images sent to cellphones. Our work includes appeals concerning unwanted sexual advances and life changing settlements.
Discrimination and Harassment: Federal and state laws restrict discrimination based on race, color, religious beliefs, sex (consisting of pregnancy), national origin, disability, age (40 or older), or genetic information. This includes security from harassment of any kind.
Reasonable Accommodation: If you have a documented medical condition, your employer may be needed to provide affordable lodgings to enable you to perform your job responsibilities. Examples include flexible work schedules, modified equipment, or accessible work spaces. However, a lot of cases filed in court for companies declining to fairly accommodate staff members includes employers who fired a staff member for not returning to work when they are out on a disability, FMLA, or pregnancy leave. Allowing time off for a staff member’s medical condition and treatment are basic affordable accommodations numerous companies do not properly manage.
Workplace Safety: Your company has a legal duty to offer a safe work environment devoid of acknowledged dangers. This consists of sticking to safety guidelines and supplying proper training for workers.
Wrongful Termination: Wrongful termination is a whistle blower tort. If a worker grumbles about their company doing something prohibited and they are ended that may be wrongful termination. Retaliation resulting in a task termination is wrongful termination if it occurs because the staff member exercised statutory legal rights and was struck back for employment working out those rights. Examples include task terminations due to the employee filing a wage claim, declining unwanted sexual advances, reporting a company to OSHA, internally complaining to management or refusing to participate in prohibited activities, taking a lawfully secured leave of lack for cancer, impairment, FMLA, employment or pregnancy. Firing a staff member due to an immutable particular such as gender, race, or faith is also wrongful termination. Wrongful discharge IS NOT about unjust task terminations employees do not concur with that do not involve one of the above.
