In today’s world, the workplace is where we spend a significant portion of our time. Unfortunately, workplace injustices such as discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination can occur, leaving employees feeling vulnerable and powerless. At Kelley Marks Legal Advocacy, we’re committed to empowering individuals to protect their rights and seek compensation for workplace injustices through employment law.
- Understanding Your Rights: As an employee, you have rights protected by various employment laws at the federal, state, and local levels. These rights include protection from discrimination based on factors such as race, gender, age, disability, and more. Understanding your rights is the first step in protecting yourself from workplace injustices.
- Recognizing Workplace Injustices: Workplace injustices can take many forms, including discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage theft, and wrongful termination. It’s essential to recognize these injustices when they occur and take appropriate action to address them.
- Seeking Internal Remedies: Many employers have internal policies and procedures in place to address workplace injustices. If you experience discrimination, harassment, or other injustices in the workplace, it’s essential to follow your employer’s procedures for reporting and addressing these issues.
- Filing a Complaint with Government Agencies: If internal remedies are ineffective or unavailable, you may have the option to file a complaint with government agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Department of Labor. These agencies investigate complaints of workplace injustices and may take legal action against employers who violate employment laws.
- Filing a Lawsuit: In some cases, filing a lawsuit may be necessary to seek compensation for workplace injustices. An experienced employment law attorney can help you navigate the legal process, gather evidence, and build a strong case to hold your employer accountable for their actions.
- Maximizing Compensation: Compensation for workplace injustices may include back pay, front pay, damages for emotional distress, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees. An attorney can help you understand the full extent of your damages and seek maximum compensation for your losses.
