Employment Discrimination and Harassment
Under the Florida Civil Rights Act and federal laws like Title VII and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), employees are protected from discrimination based on race, sex, age, religion, national origin, pregnancy, disability, and more. If you’ve experienced a hostile workplace or sexual harassment, we can help you pursue legal remedies and file a complaint with the EEOC or Florida Commission on Human Relations.
Retaliation and Wrongful Termination
If you were fired for reporting misconduct, requesting accommodations, filing a wage complaint, or asserting your legal rights, you may have a valid claim. Our attorneys help Lake Worth Beach employees file retaliation and wrongful termination claims and seek lost wages, emotional damages, and reinstatement where appropriate.
Employment Contracts and Non-Compete Agreements
Contracts and non-compete clauses are frequently used by Lake Worth Beach employers. Florida courts enforce them only when they are reasonable and serve a legitimate business interest. Whether you’re reviewing a job offer, negotiating a severance, or protecting your business, we help draft, evaluate, and enforce clear and lawful agreements.
Wage and Hour Conflicts
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), Lake Worth Beach workers are entitled to minimum wage and overtime pay if they are non-exempt. If you’ve been underpaid, denied overtime, or misclassified, we can help you recover what you’re owed. We also offer wage compliance audits and training for employers to prevent future liability.
Whistleblower Protection
The Florida Whistleblower Act protects employees who report fraud, dangerous conditions, or unlawful actions in the workplace. If you were demoted, harassed, or terminated after raising concerns, our employment attorneys can help you file a claim and seek protection, damages, or reinstatement.
HR Compliance and Legal Advice for Employers
We provide Lake Worth Beach businesses with proactive legal strategies to minimize risk and maintain compliance. From drafting employee handbooks and policies to leading internal investigations and workplace training, we help companies stay in step with Florida and federal employment regulations.
HIPAA and Healthcare Employment Law
Healthcare providers and professionals in Lake Worth Beach must follow strict labor laws and HIPAA privacy regulations. We assist medical offices, dental clinics, and home health businesses with tailored legal guidance, policy development, and training to ensure compliance and protect patient data.
Filing a Complaint with the FCHR or EEOC
If you’ve been subjected to workplace discrimination or retaliation, your first step may involve filing a complaint with the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). We help Lake Worth Beach clients prepare claims, gather supporting documentation, and represent them through investigations, mediation, or litigation.
