| Many of our clients are employers
who deal with the escalating number of employment
claims.
Those disputes might be dealing with claims
of discrimination in employment, such as claims
by employees that they were terminated or demoted
as a result of their gender, religion or
ethnicity.
There may be claims of various types of harassment
the employee contends were visited upon him or
her. There may be claims that an employee
was underpaid by failure to provide appropriate
overtime compensation or failure to pay for unused
vacation or compensatory time. The lawyers in
our litigation group deal with such claims on
virtually a daily basis.
The best telephone call you can make is the
first one asking whether or not what you propose
to do is legal and appropriate. Employment
law is truly an area where a “stitch in
time saves nine.”
Handling employment disputes immediately and resolving
them quickly will save innumerable dollars otherwise
spent on defending claims later in court. |
