Employment Lawyers - What they do, who needs them & why
Employment lawyers deal with or specialize in employment law, administrative rulings and precedents. These laws, rulings, and precedents address the restrictions on and the legal rights of workers and the organizations, if any, they belong to as members. Employment law serves as a mediating force between trade unions, employees and employers and their complex relationships.Employment law governs all aspects of work. Employment law applies to employees, independent contractors, unions and employers. Employers must adhere to specific guidelines such as selecting and interviewing employees, setting work standards, resolving work issues, and termination (firing). If you have been wronged by an employer, you may need an employment law lawyer to help you.
Most state laws say that employment is "at will," which means the employer can fire an employee from a position for any reason, so long as the reason is not an illegal reason or is non-discriminatory. State employment laws also apply to employment contracts. Also covered by state laws are clauses within employment contracts entered into between an employer and an employee. If you have to sign or create an employment contract, you should have an employment law attorney to assist you.
In general, all steps of employment, including interviewing, hiring, raises, advertising, and terminating employees are covered by bias laws. The EEOC is in charge of enforcing some of these civil rights laws. These laws state that an employer cannot single out an idividual because of factors such as race, age, gender, religion, national origin and/or disability. This is called discrimination. Getting the advice or assistance of an employment lawyer or attorney may be essential if your rights have been violated.
