Have you been denied a position or a promotion because of discrimination? Have you faced retaliation because you reported discrimination or wrongdoing? Are you the victim of wrongful termination because of gender, race, age, disability, or religion? When you have been the victim of such discrimination or retaliation, it is important that you seek the advice of attorneys experienced in the area of labor and employment law. Our Firm has a lengthy and successful history of representing employees who have been the victims of unlawful discrimination, retaliation or harassment.
Many discrimination cases occur when an employer takes adverse action against a worker, and the employee realizes the possibility of gender, age, race, ethnic, religious or disability discrimination as a factor in the unfavorable decision. Our lawyers can review the details of your situation with you and give you an informed recommendation of the different ways you can protect your rights.
In some situations, we'll be able to resolve the problem through engagement and negotiation with your employer. In a discriminatory discharge case, we might be able to achieve reinstatement, if you want your old job back. In many cases, however, the best options will be negotiated severance or a lawsuit for damages based on our ability to prove discrimination based on race, gender, disability, age or other prohibited grounds.
Discrimination: Both state and federal laws protect employees against discrimination based on race, gender, religion, ethnicity, national origin, age, pregnancy, or disability. If you have been denied a job or a promotion, denied equal pay or benefits, or you have been fired because of your status in one of these protected categories, you have a right to pursue a claim for discrimination under both state and federal law. We encourage you to speak to an attorney experienced in handling employment discrimination cases. Our firm has the experience and commitment to civil rights that can benefit you when you consider selecting an attorney to represent you in the complicated area of state and federal discrimination laws.
Harassment: Even if you have not been fired or denied a promotion or job, but you have been a victim of sexual harassment, racial or ethnic harassment or religious harassment, your rights under federal and state discrimination laws have been violated. Know your rights, and discuss your situation with our attorneys if you feel that you have been a victim of unlawful harassment. We can help.
Wage and hour disputes: If your employer is failing to pay you according to state and federal wage and hour laws you have recourse. These laws set minimum pay, overtime pay as well as lunch and break requirements among other provisions designed to protect employees. Talk to our employee rights law firm if you feel your rights may have been violated.
Noncompete agreements, employment contracts: If you have been asked to sign an employee contract or a non-compete agreement, make sure you know what your obligations are under the contract. You should balance your future employment goals against the benefits of signing a non-compete agreement with your current employer.
Severance Packages: When you leave your job because of downsizing, restructuring, or layoff, does the severance package treat you fairly? Could you get a better deal? Talk to an attorney with O'Hara Ruberg Taylor Sloan and Sergent who will advise you and assist in protecting your interests.
FMLA compliance: Have you been denied rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)? Depending on the size of your employer and the length of your employment with your current employer, the FMLA provides you with certain rights including the right to leave for your own illness or injury or the illness or injury of a family member. Know your rights.
EEOC, KCHR, OCRC representation: Our employee rights lawyers represent clients in cases brought before the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights (KCHR), and the Ohio Civil Rights Commission (OCRC). If you have a matter before one of these agencies, our attorneys may be able to help you.
