Protect Your Rights
Whether you are an employee or an employer, numerous rights are at stake throughout your professional career. The Fodera Law Firm is dedicated to assisting you in understanding your rights and how to best safeguard yourself against potential harm or adverse actions. Although the majority of employment relationships are classified as “at-will”, it is important to note that the law provides significant protections for both employees and employers alike. These legal safeguards are essential for protecting your interests and ensuring a fair and equitable working environment for all parties involved. The Firm has represented clients before the EEOC, state court, and federal court.
Employee Representation
To effectively safeguard your employment rights, it is essential to first comprehend the nature of illegal discrimination. As an employee, any negative actions taken against you or unequal treatment by your employer due to your affiliation with a protected class may be classified as discriminatory behavior.
Protected classes under federal law include the following:
Race, Religion, Gender, Age, Disability, National Origin, Genetic Information
Additionally, state law may provide broader protections encompassing:
Pregnancy, Sexual Orientation, Parental Leave, Gender Identity, Marital Status, Political Orientation, among others.
If you suspect that you have been subjected to unequal treatment in the workplace, it is crucial to act promptly to protect your rights and contacting the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Consider consulting with an attorney from the Fodera Law Firm to discuss your situation.
In addition to addressing discrimination matters, the attorneys at Fodera Law Firm are equipped to assist employees in pursuing reasonable accommodations for disabilities or religious beliefs. We also represent clients in cases involving sexual harassment and hostile work environment claims, assist in the recovery of unpaid wages, and safeguard individuals from retaliation for reporting illegal activities.
Employer Representation
As regulations become more and more strict, compliance with wage and hour rules, anti-discrimination laws, and workplace safety are vital to the long-term success of a business. However, compliance with a strict code of company policies can ensure protection from frivolous claims and needless settlement payments.
