Employment law is a broad area of law which includes all things related to the rights and duties between employers and employees. There are specific laws which govern and rule these rights and duties. These laws were designed to keep workers safe and protected from any kind of abuse or unfair treatment as well as to keep the employer’s rights in mind.

Whether you are a small business owner, an employee, or an HR professional who lives in south Florida, there comes a time when you may need an employment attorney. If you are being treated unfairly in the workforce, not being paid accordingly, or you are simply having a dispute, an employment attorney can guide you in the right direction and protect your rights.

While there are many civil cases in which individuals can support themselves in a court of law, employment law cases are not something that individuals will want to take on their own. Most employers have lawyers sitting around, waiting to defend them in the case that anything may arise between themselves, the company, and an employee. Employment law is complex and involves many different statutes, both federal and state, along with administrative influences and decisions, which may change in the blink of an eye.
Some of the most common lawsuits in the workplace tend to involve discrimination, harassment, injury, and wrongful termination. All of which involve a disregard for the employees’ rights.

– Harassment in the workplace can include incidents caused by sexual nature from a coworker or manager but can also include incidents –     caused by violence or bullying.

– Harassment can involve inappropriate comments or name calling along with physical contact.

– Unpaid overtime is a federal and state violation and can be one of the most common lawsuit cases in this area of law. Employers who do not pay their employees for their work are violating their rights.

– Unpaid Salary is very common in lawsuits because employers can take advantage of employees and fail to pay them for their work.

– Discrimination in the workplace is also a common case of employment lawsuits filed against employers. This is when an employee is     discriminated against due to his race, color, sex, religion, or national origin. This is a typical violation in many states across our nation.

– Unlawful Termination can include the riddance of an employee due to retaliation and/or any other reason that is unconstitutional or that violates the employee’s rights as a human.
