What Are Common Employment Law Cases?
Types of disputes that often fall under the category of employment law include:
- Worker's compensation. If an employer is injured while working, they may be able to obtain compensation to aid their recovery.
- Employment discrimination. If a worker experiences discrimination in the workplace that violates acts such as the Title VII Civil Rights Act of 1964, that employee can file a suit to gain compensation from their employer.
- Family or medical leave and employee benefits. Employers are required to give employees certain benefits or leave opportunities, or face legal penalties.
- Wrongful termination. If an employee is wrongfully terminated, they can fight to gain compensation for their termination.
- Occupational safety and health violations. If an employer violates health and safety standards set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), an employee can file a suit to gain compensation and rectify the violations.
- Non-compete clauses. Employers often require employees to sign a non-compete clause to prevent employees from leaving and destabilizing their business. If the terms of a non-compete are unfair, an employer may face legal consequences.
- Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). If an employer issues an illegitimate NDA, they may face penalties similar to employers who issue unenforceable or unfair non-compete clauses.
