The Employment Lawyers Group has tried and managed numerous cases for guys and women involving undesirable sexual touching, sexual assault, employment sexual battery, quid pro quo sexual harassment done by supervisors, managers, and company owner. Nowadays many sexual harassment cases likewise involve unwanted text and obscene images sent to cellphones. Our work consists of appeals concerning unwanted sexual advances and life changing settlements. Discrimination and Harassment: Federal and state laws forbid discrimination based upon race, color, faith, sex (consisting of pregnancy), national origin, disability, age (40 or older), or genetic info. This includes defense from harassment of any kind. Reasonable Accommodation: If you have a documented medical condition, your employer might be required to supply reasonable accommodations to permit you to perform your job duties. Examples consist of versatile work schedules, modified equipment, or accessible work areas. However, most cases submitted in court for companies refusing to reasonably accommodate staff members includes employers who fired a staff member for not returning to work when they are out on an impairment, FMLA, or pregnancy leave. Allowing time off for an employee's medical condition and treatment are essential reasonable lodgings numerous companies do not properly deal with. Workplace Safety: Your employer has a legal obligation to offer a safe workplace devoid of recognized threats. This consists of sticking to security policies and supplying proper training for workers. Wrongful Termination: Wrongful termination is a whistle blower tort. If a worker complains about their company doing something illegal and they are terminated that might be wrongful termination. Retaliation leading to a job termination is wrongful termination if it takes place since the employee exercised statutory legal rights and was struck back for exercising those rights. Examples include job terminations due to the staff member filing a wage claim, declining unwanted sexual advances, reporting a company to OSHA, internally complaining to management or refusing to take part in prohibited activities, taking a lawfully protected leave of absence for cancer, impairment, FMLA, or pregnancy. Firing a worker due to an immutable particular such as gender, race, or religion is also wrongful termination. Wrongful discharge IS NOT about unfair job terminations workers do not concur with that do not involve among the above.
