Whether you are dealing with workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, wage disputes, or wrongful termination, our New York City employment law attorneys are here to provide the legal support and representation you need.
Discrimination
Discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, or sexual orientation is illegal under both federal and state law. Unfortunately, discrimination in the workplace can still occur, affecting your career and livelihood. If you believe that you have been discriminated against, our attorneys can help you understand your rights and pursue a claim.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment can take many forms, including unwanted advances, inappropriate comments, or a hostile work environment. The Glennon Law Firm, P.C. stands with employees who have experienced harassment and is committed to holding employers accountable for providing a safe and respectful workplace.
Wage and Overtime Disputes
Employees are entitled to fair compensation for the work they perform, including proper payment for overtime hours worked. Wage disputes can include issues such as unpaid wages, improper deductions, or failure to pay overtime at the correct rate. Our attorneys will fight for your right to receive the compensation you deserve under the law.
Benefits Disputes
Employee benefits, such as healthcare coverage, retirement plans, and vacation time, are critical to workers’ overall well-being. If you have faced a denial of benefits or suspect that your employer is not honoring the benefits you are entitled to, we can help resolve these disputes and ensure that your rights are protected.
Wrongful Termination
Being wrongfully terminated is an unsettling experience. Wrongful termination can occur for many reasons, including retaliation for reporting illegal activities, discrimination, or breach of contract. Our employment law attorneys work tirelessly to investigate your case and pursue a legal remedy, whether that means negotiating a settlement or pursuing litigation in court.
Our attorneys are committed to supporting employees in their fight against unlawful practices, seeking justice for those who have suffered harm in the workplace.
