You can expect us to:
Although personal injury lawyers try to take the credit for being trial lawyers. We are never afraid to take your employment case to trial.
An employment lawyer is a civil lawyer that litigates cases under the federal and state employment statutes.
In the United States, employment is at will. This means that an employer can fire you for any non-illegal reasons.
Non-illegal reasons are those that the law does not prohibit. The most common employment violation is wrongful termination.
Wrongful termination means that your employer illegal fired you.
In Delaware, County, and through the country, your employer cannot fire you because of:
This is called employment discrimination. Employment discrimination is probably the most common employment violation behind retaliation.
Retaliation is a very common employment violation. Employment retaliation occurs when your work takes vengeance on you for engaging in a protected activity.
Protected work activities are things like:
After you take this action your work might demote, fire, or reassign you. If this happens, you have a claim for retaliation against your employer.
Workplace harassment is another common employment violation. Harassment normally occurs in the form of sexual harassment.
But any type of harassment based on you belonging to a protected class (race, gender, sex, etc.) is illegal.
Harassment occurs when your boss or coworker engages in unwanted conduct that is severe or pervasive in nature.
This means that the conduct happened often. Or it was really severe, like criminal sexual assault. At The Lacy Employment Law Firm, we have experience dealing in such cases.
Other common employment violations include wage and hour violations and violations of your right to unpaid medical leave.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) provides that you have a right to minimum wage and overtime if you are a non-exempt employee.
Employers in Delaware County, Montgomery, County, Philadelphia, County, and across the United States have to comply with this law.
An experienced employment attorney can help determine whether your work wrongfully withheld wages.
Violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) are also common. The FMLA is a statute that guarantees you the right to unpaid family and medical leave if you qualify.
We often see companies try to interfere with your right to FMLA leave. Or they might retaliate against you for trying to take it.
A lawyer licensed to practice in Delaware County can help.
As you can see, there are many exceptions to the general rule that your company can fire you for any reason. If you believe that your employer wrongfully terminated your employment in Media, PA, Delaware County, or anywhere else in Pennsylvania, you should give us a call.
In employment law, there are very tight statutes of limitations. This means that you only have so long to file a lawsuit.
There are many employees who wait to contact a lawyer. And then they regret it.
If you think you have a case, we will give you a free consultation. What do you have to lose?
