Employment law questions? Ask an employment law attorney
What is employment law? This branch of regulations is focused on the various obligations, responsibilities, and rights of people who interact in the workplace. The standards for employment laws are set at the federal level, but some states have additional regulations for protecting employees. Attorneys who practice employment law tend to represent either employees or employers, but lawyers who represent both are uncommon.
Generally, employment lawyers deal with issues that may arise over the course of an employer-employee relationship, like wage disputes, discrimination, workplace safety, and wrongful termination. Workplace sexual harassment is a problem – of course a very serious one – that also falls under employment law.
Problems at work can be complicated, especially if you’re afraid of attracting unwanted attention. Regardless of which side of an issue you’re on, you might not know where to turn for help. The Employment Law Experts on JustAnswer can provide you with the information you need to navigate the difficulties ahead. You can even access their responses online, whenever your schedule permits.
