Employment Wrongful Termination

Employment law, also known as labor law, encompasses a wide range of legal principles and regulations that govern the employer-employee relationship within the workplace. Its purpose is to ensure fair and equitable working conditions while establishing the rights, obligations, and protections for both employers and employees.

The scope of employment law covers various aspects of the employment relationship, including:

  • Employment Contracts: These agreements establish the terms and conditions of employment, encompassing factors such as wages, working hours, benefits, leave entitlements, and job responsibilities.
  • Anti-Discrimination: Employment law prohibits discriminatory practices based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or genetic information. These protections apply to hiring processes, promotions, terminations, and all other employment-related decisions.
  • Minimum Wage and Overtime: Employment law sets minimum wage rates and regulates overtime compensation for eligible employees who work beyond a specified number of hours per week.
  • Health and Safety: Employers are obligated to provide a safe and healthy work environment, which includes ensuring proper safety equipment, providing training, and complying with occupational health and safety standards.
  • Family and Medical Leave: Employment law grants eligible employees the right to take unpaid leave for reasons such as the birth or adoption of a child, caring for a sick family member, or addressing personal medical conditions.
  • Workers’ Compensation: This aspect of employment law establishes a system of benefits to provide medical treatment, wage replacement, and rehabilitation to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses.
  • Employment Termination: Employment law outlines the rights and procedures associated with terminating employment, including notice periods, severance pay, and protection against wrongful termination.
  • Collective Bargaining and Union Rights: Employment law regulates the relationship between employers and labor unions, protecting employees’ rights to engage in collective bargaining and participate in union activities.
  • Privacy and Data Protection: Employment law addresses the protection of employee privacy rights, including the use of surveillance, monitoring electronic communications, and the handling of personal data.
  • Whistleblower Protection: Employment law offers legal protection to employees who report illegal activities, fraud, or misconduct within their organization.

By comprehensively addressing these areas, employment law seeks to create a fair and balanced working environment that upholds the rights and interests of both employers and employees.

Jordan is a firecracker, no exaggeration! She was able to resolve a failed contract negotiation that was trying to sue me for triple what I offered, and she got them to settle for half of my initial offer. She represented my thoughts and feelings to a tee in a clear and concise manner. I am super grateful! You’re my business go-to-attorney for life now.

Took the bull by the horns!

My wife and I ran into trouble dealing with our HOA. We spent 3 months with different attorneys to no avail. Jordan changed everything! She took the bull by the horns and figured out a a strategy relieving us of the stress of figuring it out ourselves. She is very punctual, never kept us waiting for responses and our case was settled saving us thousands of dollars. A judgement that was put against us was vacated from the record due to her hard work. We are extremely pleased to have her in our corner!

Highly Recommend for Litigation

I retained Jordan to litigate against a dishonest building contractor who requested a sizeable cash draw from me early-on, and literally fled without completing most parts of the construction. Jordan is very competent and adept (controlling cost and time spent on only the essentials of litigation). The lawsuit was protracted because the defendant stonewalled time after time, and claimed he only had a few hundred dollars left in his name. Jordan proved that he was lying and at the end, was able to discover that this was a “family heist” – with most of the funds “squirreled” away in his wife’s bank account. I was able to settle favorably and collect most of the money.
