Labor & Employment

Labor & Employment law seeks to protect employees against acts and allegations from an employer or other employees in the workplace.

Labor & Employment Facts

A Labor and Employment claim occurs when an employer or members of an organization have violated an employee's rights to a safe work environment. An unsafe workplace can be demonstrated as discrimination, harassment, leave issues, and wage violations in the workplace. Despite the many laws established to protect employees, many workers remain at a disadvantage when disputes arise at work or during the interview process.

Some other types of legal issues in the workplace include retaliation and whistleblower claims, reasonable accommodations for disabilities, family and medical leave, and overtime and wage law disputes. Employers are obligated to follow federal, state, and local employment laws; however, they do not always do so.
