Responding to a Changing Workplace Legal Landscape

Legal concerns in the workplace are among the last of any kind of concern that any employer or employee wants to face. However, because there exist numerous laws and regulations that mandate certain dos and don’ts of what goes on at a place of work, conflict with these boundaries is possible. The number of places where workplace interactions and the law intersect is growing every year because of new laws that are rapidly changing the landscape of working life. Shaheen & Gordon, P.A. stays on top of these changes to help our employment law clients make sense of claims they wish to file against an employer or help employers respond to such claims.

If you own a company or are a current or former employee, we can help you create or respond to claims regarding sexual harassment, racial discrimination, wrongful discharge, wage and overtime claims, safety issues, as well as issues related to family and medical leave. When these issues surface at work, we’ll be there to help you protect your interests by listening to your needs and developing a strategy specifically tailored to your circumstances and goals.

Workplace Discrimination & Harassment

According to the Fair Labor Standards Act, there are multiple ways an employer may be accused of discriminating against or harassing an employee.

Such discrimination is often determined because it occurred based on the following:

  • Race
  • National Origin
  • Physical or Mental Ability
  • Sexual Orientation
  • Genetic Pre-Disposition
  • Age
  • Ancestry
  • Gender

We are prepared to represent anyone who suffers from any form of workplace discrimination, including wrongful termination.
