Employment and Labor Law
Employment Law
Enforced by both federal and state authorities, employment law is a broad area of practice encompassing the body of laws, administrative rulings, and precedents governing employment issues. In essence, employment law addresses the legal rights of working people and the protections affecting employees, employment organizations, and trade unions.
By mediating various aspects of the employer-employee relationship, employment law protects employees from concerns in the workplace such as discrimination, wages, overtime, benefits, safety and health, and child labor protection.
Violating Labor Laws
According to employment and labor laws, you may be entitled to compensation if your rights as an employee are violated. Violations may come in many forms, including when an employer:
- Bases decisions about your employment on age, race, sexual orientation, or gender
- Fails to observe the terms of your employee contract
- Does not compensate you for working overtime
To seek compensation for the violations of your employee rights, a series of legal steps must be taken to ensure your claim is properly filed and supported by facts and evidence. Employment and labor law is a broad field within the law, but it is also very complex and can be difficult to navigate for anyone unfamiliar with such legal issues.
If your rights are violated and you wish to pursue compensation, employment law attorneys can make the process simpler for you and enhance the chances of a successful outcome. K.P. Reddy, an employment law attorney in Atlanta, represents clients in all areas of employment and labor law, including:
