For Employees
Navigating Workplace Challenges with Expertise and Advocacy
For employees, being discriminated against at work because of your race, color, national origin, religion, or sexual orientation can create feelings of isolation and hopelessness. In most cases, there is no clear path to resolution and ultimately the employee suffers alone and ends up either being fired or forced to quit. Also, employees that choose to speak out against injustice are often retaliated against by being giving impossible work assignments, having work hours reduced, and in some cases, the employer may retaliate by firing the employee.
In addition to discrimination issues in the workplace, employees also often face other difficult issues such as:
- Sexual harassment
- Unfair compensation
- Not being paid for all work hours
- Work-related health and safety issues
- Non-compete agreements
- Wrongful termination
- Negotiating severance agreements
- Whistleblower claims
- Family and Medical Leave Act
For Employers
Partnering with Guess Law for Legal Assurance
Running a business in today’s litigious climate is as challenging as it has ever been. Every decision and interaction with an employee or client can potentially result in a costly lawsuit if the proper safeguards are not in place. For large corporations with expansive legal and human resources departments, compliance with state and federal laws is usually not an issue. But for mid-size and small businesses, one mistake or accidental oversight could close your doors.
Guess Law works directly with you and your management team to ensure that every aspect of your business complies with all state and federal laws. We can assist you with:
- Employee Handbooks
- Operations/Compliance manuals
- Hiring, Discipline, and Termination
- Employee contracts
- Americans with Disabilities Act accommodations
- Confidentiality agreements
- Compensation issues
- Severance/Separation agreements (employee and management)
- Employee leave issues
If you believe that you are being discriminated against at work or are facing any employment-related challenges that you feel are too difficult and complex to handle alone or whether you are starting a business, expanding your business, or just want to review your policies and practices, please reach out and we’ll gladly discuss your case.
