Employment Law FAQs
As an employee, you have the right to take legal action against your employer if they acted illegally. It is unlawful for an employer to:
- Pay you less than the minimum wage
- Require you to work “off the clock.”
- Fire you for reporting unsafe working conditions or sexual harassment
- Classify you as an independent contractor when you are an employee
- Fire you for filing a workers’ compensation claim
- Discriminate against you for your race, gender, age, or sexual orientation
- Fail to pay you overtime
If you feel your employer acted illegally, we strongly recommend contacting our legal team to discuss the matter in greater detail.
In employment law, “at-will” typically refers to the relationship between employee and employer. This means that most employees can be hired and terminated at any time (with some exceptions at the state and federal levels). However, not all employees are “at-will,” so careful consideration must be given in hiring, promotion, demotion, or firing decisions.
If you believe that your employee or employer is doing something unlawful, you can gather evidence with email, video, or other methods deemed admissible under a legal case. Make sure that you have a plan before it’s too late, and save the evidence you need to win your case!
