Wage and Hour Claims

Wage and hour cases involve any situation in which employees believe they were either not compensated, l under compensated for their according to the law. A wage dispute may involve an employer failing to pay overtime wages. It may involve employees claiming they were forced to work off the clock, or not paid the federal or Florida minimum wage. These claims may also involve failure to pay commissions to sales people. If you are involved in a dispute involving your pay, we can help.

Discrimination and Harassment

Employees have the right to work in a non-discriminatory and non-hostile environment. Discrimination and harassment in the workplace based on sex, sexual orientation, race, color, national origin, age, religion, genetic make-up, or disability violate those rights. If you feel your rights have been violated, we can help you.

Employment Contracts

From non-compete agreements and severance agreements, to general employment contracts, we can help you manage your contract needs. We understand the value of contracts pertaining to employment relationships, and how to make them work for you. Whether you are interested in the drafting or review of an employment contract or you are considering litigation for breach of an employment related contract, we can help.

Retaliation

Retaliation against employees for asserting certain protected rights is illegal according to federal and Florida employment laws. This means that action taken against an employee, including a demotion, change in work duties or termination, that are due to the reporting of sexual harassment, discrimination or other work situation is considered retaliation. We provide representation to individuals who have experienced retaliation on the job, and to employers who are accused of retaliating against an employee.

Whistleblower/Qui Tam

Whistleblower cases involve employees opposing or reporting illegal activities that are being committed by their employer. Qui Tam claims are often complicated cases. Generally, they involve the False Claims Act or another similar state law which allows for a private individual, or whistleblower with knowledge of past or present fraud committed against the federal or state government to bring suit on its behalf. We represent the interests of employees or employers that are at the center of a whistleblower or qui tam case. The firm often joins forces with another law firm to litigate Qui Tam matters. Our firm takes the time to explain these types of cases and ensure that your rights are protected.
