Employment Law
Employment law identifies the rights of employees that must be adhered to by employers and trade unions. Designed to protect employees in the workplace, employment law covers labor issues such as the following:
- Discrimination—Discrimination can result in denied opportunities in the workplace and negative treatment due to your age, religion, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and more. It is illegal and should not be tolerated under any circumstances.
- Harassment—If employee abuse or offensive conduct creates an intimidating or hostile environment while you are at work, you should not tolerate such conditions. Harassment in the workplace is against the law.
- Sexual Harassment—Sexual advances, request for sexual favors, and inappropriate language or humor are unacceptable in the workplace and a violation of employee rights.
- Overtime—Overtime law applies to a variety of work conditions in different ways and is meant to accommodate employees who put in extra hours at the workplace. The Reddy Law Firm can give you advice and legal counsel about how this law applies to your particular position.
- Wage and hour laws—These laws cover minimum wages and cases where employers fail to pay employees their proper wages. The Reddy Law Firm successfully sought and obtained class certification in a wage and hour (overtime) case against Madison County that resulted in a settlement of two years of back pay plus an amount for liquidated damages for employees in Harpold v. Madison County, Middle District of Georgia, Athens Division, Civil Action #3:06-CV-42 (CDL).
