Reddy will make sure that the lines of communication remain open and will personally make sure all of your legal questions are answered.

The Reddy Law Firm, P.C. wants you to know that Georgia employment laws cannot interfere with federal employment laws or any guidelines created by federal agencies. Workplace relations became a federal issue in 1935 when the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) was enacted. Employees and their employers may have their relationships governed by Georgia laws if it is a case where the NLRA does not apply.

Some important federal labor laws that may apply to your case are:

  • Affirmative action, which ensures equal employment opportunity for all people
  • Child labor laws, which regulate labor restrictions for minors
  • Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), which establishes health coverage for those who have lost their plans
  • Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination against those with disabilities
  • Equal employment, which prohibits job discrimination
  • Fair Labor Standards Act, which establishes minimum wage, standards for child labor, record keeping and overtime pay
  • Family and Medical Leave Act, which allows unpaid leave for certain family situations
