King of Prussia, PA Employment Law Attorney
Workers in King of Prussia and the surrounding areas of Pennsylvania have the right to legal protections and workplace benefits. Both state and federal laws guarantee these rights, covering everything from lunch breaks to anti-discrimination measures. If you think you might have an employment law claim in Pennsylvania, it’s important to contact a King of Prussia employment law attorney to protect your rights.
Unfortunately, not all employers comply with labor laws, whether due to oversight or intentional misconduct. If you’ve faced unjust treatment in the workplace, remember that legal protections are in place to help you reclaim your professional life.
Employment Law Cases We Handle in Pennsylvania
At the Law Offices of Todd M. Friedman, P.C., we’re advocates for employee rights and are experienced in handling a wide range of employment law cases. Whether you’ve been underpaid, discriminated against, or wrongfully terminated, we fight tirelessly against unfair treatment. Here are some of the cases we handle:
1. Wage and Hour Disputes
Pennsylvania employers must abide by both state and federal wage laws. These laws, enforced by the Wage & Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor, cover areas such as minimum wage, overtime pay, meal and rest breaks, and unpaid wages. If you believe your employer violated these laws, we can help you protect your earnings.
2. Discrimination
If you have faced unfair treatment at work due to your age, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy, or other protected characteristics, you may have grounds for a discrimination claim. Discrimination in the workplace is illegal and must be challenged.
3. Wrongful Termination
Being fired for unlawful reasons, such as discrimination, whistleblower retaliation, or breach of contract, constitutes wrongful termination. While most employment in Pennsylvania operates on an “at-will” basis, illegal firings can and should be contested.
4. Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for favors, and inappropriate verbal or physical conduct. If this creates a hostile work environment or interferes with your job performance, legal action can hold perpetrators accountable.
5. Union Member Rights
Employers cannot intimidate, threaten, or retaliate against workers for unionizing or participating in union activities. Likewise, unions are prohibited from unjustly coercing employees. Our team will help you defend your union rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
6. Collective Bargaining
The NLRA guarantees employees the right to engage in collective bargaining for mutual aid and protection. If your employer violates these rights, we are ready to represent your interests.
7. Class Actions
Class-action lawsuits allow groups of employees who suffered similar harm to band together and take collective legal action. Our attorneys have extensive experience managing such cases to ensure justice is served for all involved.
8. Retaliatory Discharge
Firing an employee for refusing to carry out illegal acts or for performing protected actions is against the law. Retaliatory discharge is a fundamental violation of your workplace rights, and we are here to help you fight back.
9. Employment Contracts
From drafting employment agreements to addressing breaches of contract, we provide comprehensive support in employment contract cases. Ensure you understand and protect your rights before signing any agreements.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pennsylvania Employment Law
Do employees have to give two weeks’ notice when resigning in Pennsylvania?
No. Pennsylvania is an at-will employment state, meaning neither employees nor employers are legally required to provide notice for resignations or terminations.
Can I take family or medical leave in Pennsylvania?
Under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), eligible employees are entitled to unpaid leave for qualifying family or medical reasons. Certain conditions apply, such as the size of your employer (50+ employees) and your work history (at least 1,250 hours in the prior 12 months).
Am I eligible for unemployment compensation if I lose my job in Pennsylvania?
If you are fired through no fault of your own and meet other state criteria, you may qualify for unemployment benefits. Our attorneys can help you assess your eligibility.
