Retaliation

Standing up for your rights as an employee can be a challenging and intimidating process. Unfortunately, employers often resort to retaliation when employees assert their legal rights.

Workers’ Compensation Retaliation

Employees who get hurt on the job and seek workers’ compensation benefits often find themselves terminated for the flimsiest of reasons.

Sexual Harassment

You have a right to work in a workplace free of unwanted sexual comments, innuendo, photos, videos, and touching.

Discrimination

The law prohibits discrimination against individuals because of their age, race, color, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.

Disability Discrimination

Individuals living with disabilities often face unique challenges when navigating a workplace that is not necessarily built for them. Simple but important adjustments have the potential to dramatically improve quality of life and performance, but employers may resist making “special exceptions.”

Race Discrimination

The United States Constitution, Federal law, and Florida law all require equal rights for all people, regardless of their race. It is a fundamental right.

Age Discrimination

Employers cannot discriminate against employees because of their age.

Religious Discrimination

Employees are entitled to work for an employer regardless of their own religious beliefs, and to have reasonable requests related to their religion accommodated by their employer.

Pregnancy Discrimination

It should be an exciting and happy time; don’t let your employer steal your joy by discriminating against you.

Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity Discrimination

The law forbids sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination when it comes to any aspect of employment.

Equal Pay

The law is clear: everyone must be paid equally, regardless of gender.

EEOC and FCHR Representation
