Employment Law

The employment laws in New York protect employees from certain actions and issues that can take place in the workplace. It is unfortunate that in today’s day and age, discrimination, harassment, wrongful discharge, and other unlawful concerns still exist in places of employment. If you are experiencing an unlawful action or your rights are being violated at work, it is imperative to consult with an employment lawyer who is vastly familiar with employment law.

Our employment lawyer with McCallion & Associates has represented many clients dealing with workplace inequality, harassment, and unethical practices. Regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, age, and disability, you have rights in the workplace. As such, if your rights are being infringed upon, we are here to help you fight against any legal injustice at work.

Discrimination

If an employee is treated unfavorably or adversely, it can trigger the misdeed of discrimination. Discrimination can take various forms in the workplace. If an employer fails to hire, promote, or provide a fair wage, the employee may have grounds for discrimination. The law in New York City protects employees from discrimination arising from race, skin color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and other aspects and personal characteristics. It is illegal to discriminate in the workplace. Therefore, if you believe that you are facing discrimination at work, it is strongly advised to enlist the assistance of an employment lawyer. Our employment lawyer at McCallion & Associates can assess your circumstance and determine whether any form of discrimination is transpiring. You can rest assured that we have successfully assisted numerous clients with discrimination in the workplace.

Wrongful Discharge

In New York, employment agreements are essential. If there is no employment agreement between an employer and employee, it can be difficult to identify the actual terms of employment. If your employment is terminated, determining whether your position was wrongfully terminated can be quite challenging. However, if it is evident that you were wrongfully discharged, you could still bring a lawsuit with the help of a wrongful discharge lawyer. Having a written employment contract that specifies your employment terms and conditions, however, can significantly increase your chances of winning your case. If you believe that you have been wrongfully discharged, contact a wrongful discharge lawyer as soon as possible to discuss the best course of action.
