Protecting Employees’ Rights in Lancaster County, PA

Employment law blends Pennsylvania protections with federal government requirements. Important statutes include:

  • Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits workplace discrimination based on race, sex, gender, religion, or national origin.
  • The Americans with Disabilities Act safeguards workers with disabilities and requires reasonable accommodations.
  • The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows eligible employees to take unpaid leave for medical conditions or to care for a family member.
  • The National Labor Relations Act protects workers who discuss pay or organize for fair employment practices.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission enforces these protections. Employers must ensure compliance in all aspects of the hiring process, from employee handbooks to workplace practices. When they violate these standards, employees have legal options to pursue justice. Our attorneys provide the resources and support needed to make informed choices and move forward with confidence.

Employment Law Matters We Handle

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.
