Employment litigation lawyers represent plaintiffs and defendants with issues involving employment. People who have suffered unfair labor practices such as harassment, discrimination, wage/overtime issues, or other misconduct should contact employment litigation lawyers. Though employment laws vary by state, there are general rules that apply everywhere. Employment litigation lawyers can help with the following matters: • Sexual harassment: Sexual harassment includes requests for sexual favors, unwelcome sexual advances, and verbal or physical conduct of sexual nature that creates a poor working environment. • Discrimination: Employers should not discriminate based on sex, race, age, creed, or religious affiliation. • Whisteblower protection: A whisteblower protection protects an employee who reports suspected misconduct and discloses information. The employee must report the employer’s alleged misconduct to the proper authority. The protection extends throughout the appeal and disciplinary process. • Wrongful termination claim: An employee can sue an employer for damages incurred due to wrongful termination. Wrongful termination may occur if you were fired, laid off, or forced to quit. This may include the loss of wage and ‘fringe” benefits. • Wage and overtime disputes: Claims related to wage and overtime disputes deal with employers not paying on time, employees working off the clock, or other related illegal actions. • Family Medical Leave: You are allowed to take unpaid medical leave for a certain amount of time with continued medical benefits and restoration of your position upon return. In the state of California, the law states that if you have worked for the same employer for the previous year, have worked at least 1250 hours in the past year, or if you are employed by state, federal, or local governments, you should be allowed up to 12 weeks of medical leave. The law s may vary by state. If you feel that you have been involved in the employment-related litigated matters above, you should seek the help of an employment litigation attorney. Such an attorney can work with you to put together a plan to prove your case.
