Charleston Employment Law Attorneys
Federal and state governments have steadily updated and enhanced employment laws to prevent a broad range of workplace abuses. Behaviors and policies that were once commonplace are now illegal, and employment law violations are now actionable by both employees and former employees.
If you suspect your employer has violated employment regulations, call us for knowledgeable information and answers regarding a potential claim. Here are some scenarios where the employee may have a legal claim:
- A nurse experiences inappropriate touching by a member of the medical staff while on duty
- A waitress endures verbal harassment and inappropriate touching on the job
- A legally blind man is terminated from his position and wonders if his employer adequately attempted to accommodate him under the Americans with Disabilities Act
- An assembly line worker is asked to work off the clock without additional pay and was terminated upon refusal
If any of these situations are familiar to you, the Hughey Law Firm LLC can help. We have helped many people win deserved compensation from employers who broke one of the many employment laws that protect the rights of all U.S. employees.
Discrimination involving race, religion, national origin, disability, gender/sex, and age is illegal and actionable. Wrongful termination and violation of wage and hour laws is also illegal. In a recent case, our client was sexually assaulted by her boss. We worked with investigators to obtain statements from six other individuals stating they experienced similar sexual harassment at the company. By proving the assault had occurred and establishing a pattern of harassment and tolerance of harassment, we were able to win a substantial award for our client.
