Human Resources Attorneys

In addition to federal laws and regulations governing employee treatment, states have their own laws and regulations. They may cover:

• Age discrimination
• Disability discrimination
• Race and religion discrimination
• Child labor laws
• Health and safety at the state level in addition to the federal level
• Fair labor standards act at the state level in addition to the federal level
• The Family/Medical Leave Act at the state level in addition to the federal level
• Leave laws
• Meals and breaks
• Layoffs
• Minimum wage laws
• Overtime laws
• Wage payment laws
• Unemployment
• Workers’ compensation
• Vacation leave laws

Human resources attorneys also handle cases that involve an employee harassing or discriminating another, and the employer ignores the situation. Depending on your circumstances, federal or state laws may cover your case should you go to trial.

In many cases, people are the target of discrimination even before they are hired. An employer may decline your application because of a disability that doesn’t hinder your ability to work but may require reasonable accommodations.

Sometimes, hiring managers or HR departments discriminate on the basis of age, race, religion, and other factors – even during the application process. If you suspect you’ve experienced discrimination during the hiring process, you should contact a human resources attorney immediately.

In addition to regulations prohibiting discrimination during the hiring process, employers also cannot pass up workers for promotions in a discriminatory manner. For example, your boss can’t refuse to promote you because of a disability, your race, religion, or because you need time off for military duty.

Contacting a human resources lawyer after experiencing discrimination or another employment issue is crucial. One way to know which law firm to hire is by asking your family and friends.
