What Type Of Employment Law Violation Did You Experience?
There are many types of employment law violations, including:
- Discrimination based on race, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, pregnancy, veteran status and other protected classes
- Hostile work environment
- Adverse actions for speaking up about workplace safety violations
- Adverse actions for filing workers’ compensation claims
- Adverse actions for taking Family And Medical Leave Act time
- Wage and hour violations, such as failing to pay the minimum wage or overtime
- Sexual harassment by a boss, coworker, vendor/supplier or customer
- Wrongful termination
It is important to understand that being treated poorly by your boss or employer is only against the law if they violate the law. If they are not violating any laws – they are just mean or unpleasant – that alone typically does not rise to the level of violating an employment law. As an experienced Louisville employment law attorney, I can tell you if you have a valid claim when we talk during your free consultation.
How Can Employees Prepare For Their Cases?
You should report the issue to your employer. A claim can be turned down if you don’t give your employer an opportunity to resolve the problem. Follow the steps in your employee handbook.
Document all instances of the violation and save any relevant emails, text messages, memos, photos and additional evidence. You should also note the date when the actions occurred. This is valuable evidence for your case.
