When most of us think about needing to hire an attorney, we imagine reasons such as going through a divorce, being involved in an accident, or even criminal defense. However, there are many employment law-related reasons to hire Downers Grove employment attorneys. Below, we’ll discuss several of the most common.
Discrimination: Discrimination of most types is against the law, but that does not stop employers from doing it. If you have been discriminated against because of any of the following, contact Downers Grove employment attorneys immediately:
- Age
- Sex
- Religion
- Nation of origin
- Pregnancy
- Ethnicity
- Race
- Genetic information
Employment Contracts: In most instances, employers do not have a contract with their employees, but that’s not the case in all instances. If your employer has broken an employment contract with you, an attorney can help.
Hostile Work Environment: A work environment should be conducive to completing your responsibilities as an employee, and should not place undue stress on an employee. A hostile work environment makes it difficult or impossible for you to work.
Retaliation by an Employer: Employers are supposed to treat all employees fairly, but the fact remains that they can be vengeful and vindictive. If your employer has retaliated against you for any reason, you could have an employment law case.
Wrongful Termination: Wrongful termination is illegal, and it can be difficult to prove, but it is one of the most common reasons to seek out the assistance of Downers Grove employment attorneys. If you feel that you have been terminated wrongly, you deserve experienced legal guidance.
Whistleblowing: Whistleblowing alerts others to unsafe, predatory, discriminatory, unethical and even illegal actions on the part of a company or organization. However, whistleblowers are often retaliated against. If you feel that you are being targeted due to whistleblowing, it’s important to get legal assistance.
