Employment Law Work We Do:
- Discrimination, sexual harassment – We vigorously advocate on behalf of individuals who have been unlawfully discriminated against in the workplace. We pursue discrimination claims before the Colorado Civil Rights Division and the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission pursuant to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Colorado Civil Rights Act and laws protecting public employees. If you have been subjected to sexual abuse or outrageous conduct at the workplace, we press for your protection and advise as to your rights while you are still employed. If you are pregnant, the law gives you protection.
- Employment agreements – At the start of a new job, we will negotiate contracts for you and advise you as to your rights and obligations. We enforce broken promises made by the employer at various stages of the employment process, from agreements made at hiring to promises of promotion, to wrongful discharge. A verbal agreement is still an enforceable agreement, but you need a lawyer’s help to prove existence of the agreement.
- Noncompete agreements, proprietary information disputes- What client information may you use at your next job? Can the employer enforce a noncompete? We will defend any allegations of breach of the employment agreement.
- Insurance issues – Questions about COBRA, disability insurance and life insurance typically arise when employees leave their job or take an extended leave. We will help you understand your rights to continued coverage, the applicable law and represent your interest during the claims or litigation process.
- Leave, wages and overtime – We help our clients understand and enforce their rights under various state and federal laws regarding sick leave, family or maternity leave. We provide skilled guidance on issues related to employer’s obligations and employee rights to wages, overtime and other benefits.
- Retaliation for workers compensation claims or discrimination claims
- Severance agreements
- Unemployment Insurance - in this area we represent both employers and employees.
- Workplace investigations - objective, thorough and comprehensive assessment of discrimination complaints for employers and employees.
TIPS: The U.S. Department of Labor has advice called employment laws assistance for workers and small business, “elaws” on its interactive website, www.dol.gov/elaws. The site contains good information about disability nondiscrimination, family leave, and veterans’ benefits.
Feel you are the victim of discrimination? Do not just quit. The employer’s best defense to a discrimination lawsuit is that you did not give it an opportunity to investigate and resolve the problem. Talk to a lawyer before you take drastic action.
