EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT IN THE WORKPLACE

Suing an employer for mistreatment in the workplace can be a long and difficult process. Joe Daigle frequently lectures other attorneys on employment law litigation and a substantial part of his practice involves litigating employment claims. The most heavily contested cases fall into three categories:

• Employment Discrimination: An employer changes the terms, benefits, or conditions of an employee’s job due to the employee’s disability, age, race, country of origin, sex, sexual preference, sexual identity, or religion.
• Harassment: An employer permits mistreatment of an employee and that mistreatment is motivated by animosity toward the employee’s disability, age, race, country of origin, sex, sexual preference, sexual identity, or religion.
• Wrongful Termination: An employer retaliates against an employee because the employee has reported that a law has been broken or is about to be broken in the workplace. Wrongful termination may also protect employees who have cooperated in an investigation of the employer.

Note: Many employment claims have a very short statute of limitations for filing a complaint. Don’t delay – contact Joe today!
