Protecting Workers Under State and Federal Law

Both federal and Pennsylvania law establish protections for employees, but violations still occur. Statutes such as Title VII, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act define employment matters that cannot be ignored.

Employers must follow these laws and workplace regulations, yet many fail to comply. As a result, employees may face:

  • Wrongful termination after reporting misconduct or asserting their rights
  • Employment discrimination based on gender, age, race, disability, or pregnancy
  • Workplace discrimination and harassment are creating unsafe conditions
  • Denial of FMLA leave or unpaid leave to care for a family member
  • Wage and overtime claims under state and federal labor standards

Our attorneys step in to protect workers from unfair treatment and guide them through the legal process.

Employment Law Matters We Handle

Our firm addresses a full range of employment law concerns:

  • Wrongful Termination: Helping workers challenge unlawful firings connected to retaliation or unequal treatment.
  • Employment Discrimination: Representing clients in cases involving gender, disability, race, and other protected categories.
  • Workplace Harassment: Pursuing claims for hostile environments and unlawful conduct.
  • Wage and Hour Disputes: Recovering unpaid wages, overtime, and benefits under the Fair Labor Standards Act and state labor codes.
  • Contracts and Counsel: Reviewing employment contracts and severance agreements to protect worker interests and ensure fairness.
  • Retaliation and Whistleblower Protection: Standing with employees who experience retaliation after filing complaints.

Civil Litigation and Court Representation

When employment law disputes cannot be resolved informally, they may move to civil litigation. Our attorneys bring significant experience in litigation, guiding clients through the process in both state and federal courts. We safeguard the interests of workers at every stage, from negotiation to trial, ensuring that their rights are fully enforced.

What Our Clients Say

This firm came recommended by a close lawyer friend of mine who does not specialize in this area of law. If I could leave a 10 star rating I would. Franny Ryan was responsive, helpful, considerate and most importunately, a true expert in her field. Her assistance was invaluable to me. Do not hesitate to call upon Wusinich, Sweeney & Ryan should you ever need assistance. First class.

In over 30-years of my career, I've never had to retain a lawyer's help for a job-related issue until recently. Franny Ryan was helpful from our first conversation. She demonstrated patience, empathy and an understanding of the law that guided me through a difficult situation. Today, I am still employed [elsewhere] and the situation we addressed had a great outcome. My result would most certainly be very different, if I chose to navigate the situation on my own. Franny's guidance made all the difference. If you are facing misbehavior in the workplace, I highly recommend a conversation.
