Employee Legal Advice
Protect Yourself and Your Rights with Employee Legal Advice
Many employers already have lawyers or entire legal teams in their corners, but what should an employee do if they require employee legal advice? At PB Employment Law, we believe that workers deserve every bit of legal guidance, advice, and representation that employers have. If you are in a situation where you are considering legal action against your employer, we can help.
Signs You Should Invest in Our Legal Advice for Employees
Everyone gets upset or exasperated with their employer from time to time. The question is, when do those grievances elevate from the day-to-day frustrations we all feel about our jobs, to become something more legally questionable? Here are a few signs that you should seek out a legal advocate that offers employment law advice for employees:
You believe you have been a victim of discrimination. Workplace discrimination can take many forms. While discrimination is illegal, employers will sometimes discriminate against people based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, or other factors. If you believe you have been a victim of discrimination by an employer—either the employer you currently work for or a company that interviewed you but chose not to hire you—then it’s worth sitting down with a legal advocate for employee advice.
You have contended with sexual harassment in the workplace. Unfortunately, workplace sexual harassment is a rampant, widespread issue that regularly affects workers in all industries—women and men. While the first step in most cases is to report the sexual harassment incident to a superior, you might consider seeing a legal opinion if your employer has shrugged off the issue, penalized you for reporting your harassment, or done nothing to change the workplace culture.
You are being unfairly forced out of your job. Is your employer pressuring you to resign from your position, or making life difficult for you at work in hopes that you will quit? This practice, called ‘constructive dismissal’ – is illegal and may give you grounds for a lawsuit.
These are just three examples of issues that may merit seeking legal guidance. Visit this page to read more about the types of employee legal advice we provide.
