 Employment Law

While the principle of “at will” employment is still the starting point, relations between even small employers and their employees is governed by numerous federal and state laws which have restricted the power of the employer with respect to how it manages its employees.  Certainly discrimination for race, age, sex and disability lead to many claims before the EEOC and Courts.  However, the Courts are creeping toward an even more expansive definition of the “employment contract,” where union employee manuals or employer past practices can be used as the grounds for a claim by a disgruntled or fired employee seeking reinstatement or payment.  

We have represented employers and employees in such cases and will be happy to counsel you regarding your rights and liabilities.
