Employment law is designed to protect the rights of employees while at the same time ensuring that employers are doing their part in fulfilling their legal obligations. Understanding your rights as an employee is crucial in today’s complex work environment, according to Najla Law Firm. This is how employment law protects your rights.
Anti-Discrimination Laws: In employment, it prohibits discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, among others that fall within the protective characters. The Najla Law Firm advises an employee regarding EEO rights and represents clients at work on a claim following illegal workplace discrimination.
Wage and hour laws: Employees have the right to fair wages and benefits. It may be overtime, minimum wage, or calculating the wages of tipped workers, but FLSA regulates the fair compensation for employees’ work. Najla Law Firm aids employees in getting fair wages.
Safety at Work: OSHA requires employers to provide conditions of work that are both safe and healthy for their employees. Once the firm is exposed to unsafe working conditions, then it can help its clients in making complaints and also pursuing legal action if there is a need.
Family and Medical Leave: The Family and Medical Leave Act, or FMLA, requires that eligible employees receive unpaid leave for family and medical reasons. When your FMLA rights are violated, call Najla Law Firm for further instruction about what to do next.
Employment contracts and restrictive covenants: Employment contracts and restrictive covenants have the effect of limiting job mobility. We analyze employment contracts at Najla Law Firm, and we assist employees on how to read such limiting clauses that unfairly restrict them from seeking another job.
