Title VII, ADA, ADEA
Discrimination claims under the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), ADEA (Age Discrimination in Employment Act) and Title VII are the most common causes of employment law disputes. Pursuant to Title VII, an individual may bring a cause of action for discrimination based on race, gender, religion or national origin. Gender discrimination under Title VII includes claims for sexual harassment (quid pro quo or hostile work environment).
To avoid lawsuits for alleged violations of these and other employment laws, there are a number of important steps employers must take, including the use of correct training procedures, required postings, investigation procedures for employee complaints, and appropriate hiring, promotion and termination policies.

Discrimination, Wrongful Discharge, Sexual Harassment
Our attorneys have more than 50 years of combined experience. We have extensive knowledge of state and federal laws that protect employees. Employment laws like the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), ADEA (Age Discrimination in Employment Act), Title VII and the FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) provide powerful remedies to employees who have been treated unfairly.
These and other laws protect employees from discrimination on the basis of race, religion, gender and national origin. Title VII also provides protection against sexual harassment, as it constitutes a form of gender-based discrimination.
You Do Not Have to Be Fired to Have a Cause of Action
People often think they have no remedy unless they have been fired or discharged from employment. This is not true. Employment laws prohibit discrimination in the terms of employment, which can include discrimination involved in a promotion, demotion, pay scale, job duties or other job-related terms of employment. If you have been treated unfairly, it is best to contact an attorney to determine if you may have a cause of action.
Retaliation/Whistleblower Claims
Sometimes, employers discriminate against employees for making complaints or taking legal actions. An employer may not discriminate against you for making a valid complaint of sexual harassment or discrimination. There are other types of protected employee actions for which an employer may not engage in retaliation. If you believe you have faced unfair retaliation, it is best to contact a lawyer to determine your rights.
