Protecting Workers’ Rights in Chester County

Employees in Pennsylvania have certain rights under federal and state laws, including Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act. These protections safeguard against discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. When employers violate these standards, our employment law attorneys step in to defend workers.

Violations may include:

  • Wrongful termination claims in a breach of contract or anti-discrimination law
  • Employment discrimination against a protected class (race, age, sex, disability, pregnancy, religion, or national origin)
  • Workplace harassment and sexual harassment are creating a hostile work environment
  • Denied FMLA leave or unpaid leave to care for yourself or a family member
  • Unfair terms in employment agreements or severance agreements
  • Wage violations, such as unpaid overtime or failure to meet minimum wage requirements

Discrimination and Harassment

Employment Discrimination

Our lawyers represent employees who are unlawfully targeted because of their age, race, sex, religion, disability, or national origin. We fight for workplace equality under federal law and Pennsylvania protections.

Sexual Harassment and Hostile Work Environment

Our lawyers handle complaints of coercion, offensive comments, or conduct that creates a hostile work environment.

Disability and Pregnancy Discrimination

Our Pennsylvania ADA and disability discrimination lawyers protect employees denied fair treatment or a reasonable accommodation, enforcing employer compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Termination, Retaliation, and Contracts

Wrongful Termination Lawyers

Pennsylvania is generally an at-will employment state, but there are important exceptions. Our Pennsylvania wrongful termination lawyers pursue cases when an employer illegally ends an employment relationship for discriminatory or retaliatory reasons.

Retaliation and Whistleblower Protection

Our whistleblower protection attorneys represent workers who face punishment for engaging in a protected activity, such as reporting harassment or wage violations.

Severance Agreements and Employment Contracts

Our employment contract lawyers review and negotiate agreements to ensure compliance with the law. We carefully review severance packages, non-compete clauses, and other contract terms to protect your interests.

Unemployment Compensation

We assist with unemployment compensation claims and appeals, helping eligible workers access the benefits they deserve after a job loss.

Wages, Overtime, and Leave Rights

Wage and Hour Disputes

Our attorneys handle wage and hour disputes, including denied overtime compensation, miscalculated pay, and violations of minimum wage laws.

Overtime and FLSA Claims

We file claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act to recover unpaid overtime and compensation for off-the-clock work.

FMLA and Medical Leave Rights

Our attorneys help when employers deny family and medical leave. Employees may request FMLA leave to care for a serious health condition or a family member, and retaliation for making such a request is unlawful.
