At our law firm, we stand as staunch advocates for employees facing discrimination, harassment, and other kinds of unlawful treatment in the workplace.
With a deep commitment to justice and equality, we provide compassionate and expert legal representation to individuals navigating these challenging situations. At Employer-Lawyer, we prioritize your well-being and empowerment every step of the way.
Discrimination
Employment discrimination laws are designed to protect you from unfair treatment because of your race, gender, age, disability, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, etc. These laws prohibit your boss from making decisions about hiring, firing, promotions, compensation, or other terms of employment based on discriminatory bias. Additionally, the law may require your company to provide you with reasonable accommodations if you have a disability that affects the way you work.
Harassment
Employment harassment laws protect you from having to work in a hostile or intimidating workplace. This includes verbal, physical, or visual behavior that is unwelcome and offensive, such as derogatory comments, gestures, or unwanted advances. Harassment can come from your co-worker, your supervisor, or even from your clients. If that happens, your boss is required to stop the harassment.
Retaliation
Retaliation laws protect you from harmful actions that your boss might take against you because you complained about discrimination, harassment, or other unlawful working conditions. Acts of retaliation can include being fired, demoted, having your hours or pay lowered or other kinds of unfair treatment, and it is against the law!
Overtime and Minimum Wage
Overtime and minimum wage laws protect your right to fair pay. If you do any work that is “off the clock” or not paid, that’s a violation of the law. Overtime laws require you to be paid extra money (1.5x) if you work more than 40 hours in a week. If you have not been paid right, the company may have to pay you “double-your-money” back and they may have to help pay for your legal expenses.
Unemployment Insurance
Unemployment insurance law in Utah provides temporary financial assistance to eligible individuals who are unemployed through no fault of their own. Administered by the Utah Department of Workforce Services, the program offers monetary benefits to help unemployed workers cover essential expenses while they actively seek new employment opportunities.
Severance Agreements
If you have been fired, you may have received a “Severance Agreement.” At Employer-Lawyer, we specialize in reviewing these documents and helping you understand what rights you might gain (or lose) by signing that document. We can also help evaluate your potential legal claims and negotiate for better payouts or protections.
