Your Rights as a Worker
You are entitled work without being subjected to unlawful discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. Employment laws protect workers. It is important to know your rights so you can identify violations.
You have a right to a safe work environment, and freedom from unlawful discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. Beyond these basic rights, some employees are also legally entitled to workers’ compensation, health insurance, overtime pay, and more.
The employment laws cover many different areas of the worker experience. Similarly, the details of employment litigation are often specific to your situation.
Employment law cases may focus on compensation, work environment, or a general violation of worker rights — such as when an employee is fired or disciplined for an illegal reason.
We handle a wide variety of employment law issues including:
- Wage and hour violations
- Sexual harassment
- Discrimination
- Wrongful termination
- Reasonable accommodations
- FMLA leaves
- Whistleblower retaliation
- Equal pay
- Investigations
- Breach of contract

Types of Employee Agreements
In some cases, employment law issues involve contracts between an employer and an employee. There are many different reasons why an employee may enter a contract with his/her employer. Employees should carefully consider employment contracts before agreeing to them. When either party violates a contract, litigation can ensue.

Some types of employee-employer agreements include:
- General employment agreements
- Severance agreements
- Transition agreements
- Non-compete agreements
