Why You Need a Florida Employment Law Firm
Discrimination, harassment, and illegal conduct on the job takes many forms. It could be a manager’s improper behavior toward employees of a certain race. Maybe it’s a supervisor’s constant sexually suggestive remarks that make their assistant feel uncomfortable and unsafe. Or a worker being terminated because they reported unethical or illegal activity in their workplace to their bosses or a government agency.
But you have rights. Several state and federal laws provide workers with legal protections, including:
Despite these protections, calling out an employer’s illegal activity and fighting back against employment discrimination or workplace harassment is challenging. When a worker faces off against their employer, the company usually has an attorney to represent their side of things. If that worker doesn’t have a lawyer of their own, they must navigate numerous claims, pore through rigorous procedures, and endure a maddening, time-consuming process. Add to this the fact that companies have wide latitude when they make employment-related decisions – so they know how to mask discriminatory motives as legitimate business decisions.
