Understanding Your Employee Rights

As an employee, you have particular legal protections in place to ensure a reasonable and safe work environment. These rights cover numerous aspects of your employment, consisting of:

Wage and Hour Lawyer: You are entitled to be paid base pay for all hours worked, and overtime pay for surpassing a set variety of hours weekly (typically 40). Meal and rest breaks might also be compensated depending on your area and company.
Sexual Harassment: Unwanted sexual advances unfortunately continues to effect people of all genders and gender identifications. The Employment Lawyers Group has actually attempted and managed lots of cases for males and females including unwanted sexual touching, sexual attack, sexual battery, quid professional quo unwanted sexual advances done by managers, supervisors, and company owner. Nowadays many unwanted sexual advances cases also include undesirable text messages and obscene images sent out to cellular phones. Our work includes appeals concerning sexual harassment and life changing settlements.
Discrimination and Harassment: Federal and state laws prohibit discrimination based upon race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, special needs, age (40 or older), or employment genetic details. This consists of security from harassment of any kind.
Reasonable Accommodation: If you have a recorded medical condition, your company may be needed to offer affordable accommodations to allow you to your job responsibilities. Examples consist of flexible work schedules, customized equipment, or accessible work areas. However, the majority of cases submitted in court for employers refusing to reasonably accommodate workers includes companies who fired an employee for not coming back to work when they are out on a disability, FMLA, or pregnancy leave. Allowing time off for a worker’s medical condition and treatment are fundamental affordable accommodations lots of employers do not correctly deal with.
Workplace Safety: Your employer has a legal obligation to provide a safe work environment devoid of acknowledged risks. This consists of sticking to security regulations and supplying appropriate training for employees.
Wrongful Termination: Wrongful termination is a whistle blower tort. If an employee grumbles about their company doing something unlawful and they are terminated that may be wrongful termination. Retaliation resulting in a job termination is wrongful termination if it occurs because the worker worked out statutory legal rights and was struck back for working out those rights. Examples include job terminations due to the staff member filing a wage claim, refusing unwanted sexual advances, reporting a company to OSHA, internally complaining to management or refusing to take part in prohibited activities, taking a lawfully protected leave of lack for cancer, disability, FMLA, or pregnancy. Firing a worker due to an immutable particular such as gender, race, or faith is likewise wrongful termination. Wrongful discharge IS NOT about unfair job terminations workers do not concur with that do not involve among the above.
