You may question whether your employer violated any laws when you were not hired, demoted, fired, not promoted, or asked to work off the clock.
You may wonder whether you were denied overtime pay when your employer possibly misclassified your job as “exempt” when in fact, you were performing the same tasks as hourly workers.
At the Foulke Law Firm, your concerns will be heard and injustices that you have experienced on the job will be taken seriously. Discuss the matter with an experienced lawyer whose areas of focus include labor and employment law.
Discuss Harassment Cases
Several laws have been enacted to end discrimination and clarify the responsibilities of employers, such as the following:
Workplace Sexual Harassment
Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is more than 40 years old, some employers and fellow employees continue to discriminate against, and harass, other workers in violation of the law.
Sexual harassment is considered to fall within the definition of discrimination based on sex.
Specifically, sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that make for a hostile work environment.
Perpetrators and victims of sexual harassment may be men or women. They do not have to be of opposite sexes. The harasser may be a boss, supervisor, coworker, or non-employee present at the workplace.
You may have experienced depression, stigmatization, or blatant discrimination as a result of the sexual harassment you have been subjected to on the job. You may have tried to report the sexual harassment to no avail.
You may have lost your job in an apparent retaliatory discharge after you filed a formal complaint about sexual harassment.
Whatever your circumstances, your dignity as a human being and as a worker matter. If you have a legal case, and if you decide to take legal action against your employer or other responsible party, you will not only be taking a stand in your defense.
You may also help prevent future employees from suffering the same wrongdoing that comes with sexual harassment. Talk over your situation with an experienced employment lawyer at Foulke Law Firm.
Learn what constitutes a case, and how to pursue legal remedies including reimbursement of back pay, reinstatement, and a commitment from your employer to stop allowing a hostile work environment.
