A Premier Employment Law Firm
Understanding Wrongful Termination and Your Rights
If you've been fired and believe your termination is unjust, it may qualify as wrongful termination. Employees are protected from termination due to discrimination, retaliation, or for exercising their legal rights, such as whistleblowing. Bez Law P.C. investigates each case thoroughly to ensure that employers are held accountable when they break the law. Every employee deserves fairness and respect. Our firm is here to make sure you receive both.
Standing up to Workplace Discrimination
Workplace discrimination remains one of the most challenging experiences an employee can face. Whether it's subtle bias or overt harassment, discrimination affects careers, livelihoods, and mental health. At Bez Law P.C., we help clients understand their rights under state and federal laws protecting them from such unfair treatment. Our goal is not only to secure justice for our clients but to promote equality and accountability in the workplace.
Hostile Work Environments Explained
A hostile work environment is a workplace where unwelcome conduct, such as harassment, discrimination, or bullying, is so severe or frequent that it interferes with an employee's ability to perform their job. For conduct to be legally considered a hostile work environment, it must be based on a protected characteristic like race, gender, religion, age, national origin, disability, or another protected trait under the law. It can be challenging to identify an illegal hostile work environment, as the threshold is high. Bez Law P.C. can assess the situation and advise you on an appropriate path or outcome.
Identifying Family & Medical Leave Act Violations
FMLA violations include an employer's interference with or denial of an employee's right to leave, such as firing, demoting, or retaliating against an employee for taking leave. Examples of interference include denying an eligible employee's leave request, discouraging an employee from taking leave, requiring work tasks while on leave, and using leave as a negative factor in employment decisions. Bez Law P.C. will help you identify whether and FMLA violation has occurred and work with you to get the outcome you deserve.
Employers' Unlawful Failure to Accommodate a Disability in the Workplace
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act and many comparable state laws, employers must provide reasonable accommodations that allow a disabled individual to perform the essential functions of their job. A "failure to accommodate" is a form of disability discrimination that occurs when an employer fails to provide a reasonable accommodation to a qualified employee with a known disability, unless doing so would cause an undue hardship. This can be difficult to navigate, but Bez Law P.C. has extensive experience in disability cases and will advocate for you.
How to Recognize and Report Sexual Harassment at Work
Sexual harassment often goes unreported due to victims' fear of retaliation or disbelief. Recognizing signs such as unwelcome advances, offensive comments, or an intimidating environment is crucial. Reporting such behavior to HR, documenting incidents, and consulting an experienced attorney ensures your rights are protected. Speaking up is never easy, but with the right legal advocate, you are not alone.
How to Protect Yourself as a Whistleblower
A whistleblower is a person who exposes wrongdoing within an organization, such as fraud, illegal activity, or a danger to public health. Before reporting such activity, however, it is always best to consult an experienced attorney on whistleblower cases. Bez Law P.C. can advise on the proper way to make the disclosure and whether it is protected under the law (including the Whistleblower Protection Act, the False Claims Act, and the Dodd-Frank Act). Bez Law P.C. will guide you throughout the process and help you develop a plan to ensure your actions are legally protected.
