Discrimination

 

It is against the law for an employer to discriminate against a worker on the basis of their age, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, pregnancy, familial status (having children), religion, or national origin, according to state and federal anti-discrimination laws. We represent clients in cases alleging unlawful discrimination in violation of federal, state, and local laws, including Title VII and the Florida Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Family and Medical Leave Act. Our services have ranged from the initial filing of a complaint to the conclusion of the matter. It’s possible to be discriminated against in a number of ways, such as not getting hired, getting fired, being denied training, not getting promoted, getting demoted and getting paid less.   You may be eligible for the following compensation, if you qualify:

• Reinstatement, if you lost your job
• Back pay if you lost money or missed out on a raise
• The reimbursement for lost benefits
• Monetary damages for emotional distress
• Recovery for lost future earnings
• Protecting Rights of Employees Before the EEOC

Each and every one of us possesses the inherent right to be dealt with justly and with the utmost respect. This is especially true within the realm of business, and there are laws on the federal level that specifically protect employees from being discriminated against in any capacity related to their place of employment. Commonly referred to as Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws, these statutes protect workers’ rights in the workplace. According to the EEO laws, it is against the law for a place of business to discriminate against an employee or treat them unfairly on the basis of their race, sex, religion, age, disability, or any other protected characteristics. It is imperative that you get in touch with us as soon as possible if you believe that you have been the target of workplace discrimination or you are the employer and need to respond to a complaint of discrimination. We will provide a comprehensive review and evaluation of your matter and legal strategy.  An attorney will be able to determine whether or not your legal rights were infringed upon and will work hard to get help you receive adequate compensation for the unfair treatment you were forced to put up with.

 

 

We help employers and employees evaluate  employment contracts, employee handbooks and post employment agreements to ensure full compliance with the state and federal EEO laws.  Employers should take active steps to ensure that  employees are protected by EEO laws during any and all activities related to their jobs. This includes everything from the process of hiring and recruiting new employees to the evaluation and promotion of current employees in their jobs. Mistreating an employee is never acceptable, and when it does happen, it is critical that the problem be resolved as quickly as possible so that the situation can be brought back under control. We have the necessary expertise, familiarity, and understanding of employment laws, as well as the ability to effectively apply them in pre-litigation, mediation, arbitration, negotiation and litigation stages of any dispute.
