Types of Employment Law Disputes

The term employment law includes a wide variety of types of disputes and claims when an employee or employees were treated unfairly or illegally by an employer. At our St. Louis law firm, we can work with clients during all types of employment law disputes including those that involve discrimination against just one individual employee or a large group of employees.

Employment law practice areas with which we are familiar include:

• Non-Compete Agreements: As part of our employment law services, we can assist employees in the negotiation, review, and interpretation of non-compete agreements. We can also represent employees in disputes over restrictive agreements and violations of non-compete agreements.
• Breach of Employment Contracts: We can represent employees against their employers in all types of breach of employment contract cases and disputes.
• Discrimination Claims and Civil Rights Violations: Many Missouri and Federal Laws protect employees from workplace discrimination and prejudices. If you have been terminated, denied employment, or otherwise discriminated against on the base of age, race, sex, or religion, you may be eligible to file a claim for damages caused by this discrimination.
• Sexual Harassment Lawsuits: Our employment law attorney can represent any men or women who have been the victims of sexual harassment and sex discrimination in the workplace. These types of violations can include firing female employees because of pregnancy, demands for sexual favors, unwelcome sexual advances or remarks, and other conduct which affects an employee's work performance or creates a hostile environment.
• Family and Medical Leave Act Disputes: The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides protection for those who need to take a leave for one of several reasons including the birth or adoption of a child, caring for a sick family member, or their own health condition. We can defend employees who were denied their rights guaranteed by this act.
• Executive Severance Agreements: As part of our employment law services, we can review severance agreements for executives who have been forced into retirement or unemployment to ensure fairness and satisfaction for the employee.
• Wrongful Termination and Retaliatory Discharge Claims: We can defend employees who have been fired or terminated in a way that violates a union contract or other government contract as well as those fired for asserting their rights or filing a discrimination claim.
• Workers' Compensation Discrimination Claims: Our employment law attorney can represent any employees who were fired or discriminated against as a result of filing a workers' compensation claim.
• Whistle Blower Protection: We offer protection for the rights of employees who are discriminated against or terminated as a result of "whistle blowing" or reporting illegal activities by employers.
• Wage and Hour Claims: We can represent employees against their employer in a variety of types of wage and hour disputes. These include disputes over job misclassification, overtime wages, being forced to work off the clock, and exempt or non-exempt employee matters.
