CONNECTICUT EMPLOYMENT LAW ATTORNEY

Our law firm has the privilege of exploring the work and career challenges our clients face every day. We have a very good attorney-client relationship and will make sure that we collaborate with clients to find realistic and cost-effective solutions that do not involve litigation and taking things to the federal court. Although we litigate every day, we strongly encourage clients and employers to talk through their employment disputes, severance negotiations, employment discrimination, unpaid overtime, and the like before considering litigation.

In our roles when it comes to employment law cases, we wear many hats. We are the private coaches who provide leadership and direction to resolve client employment disputes. We also represent employers and act as our client’s human resource director, providing quick answers about company policies, benefits, and compensation. We are taskmasters in our handling of each and every aspect of the client’s employment litigation and appellate work. Finally, employment lawyers are the storytellers of our client’s personalized narrative to the company, the court, and ultimately the jury in all cases, especially sexual harassment cases.

SEVERANCE NEGOTIATION ATTORNEY IN CONNECTICUT

We provide immediate legal advice concerning Severance Agreements. If you were just fired, need help understanding your severance agreement, and need your legal rights protected, our lawyers in Connecticut are skilled and experienced with Severance Agreements and Severance Negotiations with all major employers and will make sure that you receive fair treatment.

NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENTS

As Connecticut Employment Law Attorneys we cannot stand non-competition and non-solicitation agreements and make every attempt to remove or void them whenever possible. These agreements are unduly restrictive and hurt employees and the economy. No employee ever voluntarily agreed to these agreements, they are forced on our clients on a take or leave it basis. Our clients never negotiated the terms of the non-compete and often had very little time to review them long-term. We often file suit in court to declare the agreements void because they are unreasonable in their time frame, overreaching on their geographic scope, and just simply restricting our clients from working in their chosen profession.

RACIAL AND NATIONAL ORIGIN DISCRIMINATION

It is illegal to treat employees differently because of their race and is illegal to treat employees differently because of their national origin. This is known as workplace discrimination and should never be tolerated. It is rare to hear comments of a racial tone and more common to find subsurface discrimination taking the form of disparate treatment favoring one race or national origin over another. As employment lawyers in Connecticut, it is our job to prosecute illegal racial and national origin discrimination in the workplace.

WAGE AND OVERTIME CLAIMS

You have a legal right to be paid the federal and state minimum wage and to receive overtime compensation for all hours over forty hours per week. Employees must keep track of their hours if they believe they are not receiving the correct level of pay, as many employers may not. We also see the misclassification of employees as salaried workers who should be paid hourly. Contact one of our Connecticut employment law attorneys today.

SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND TRANSGENDER DISCRIMINATION (LGBTQ)

It is now illegal for employers and co-workers to discriminate against you at work due to your sexual orientation and transgender status. Although attitudes are slow to change, you can be assured that your rights will be protected when you work with our lawyers at Carey & Associates, P.C. Contact us today for a free consultation.

FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE

Under state and federal law, employees are allowed to take family medical leave for up to 12 weeks and sometimes longer under various state laws. All you need is a medical condition or a family member who is affected by a medical condition to obtain a leave of absence. But do not stay out too long because your job will not be protected after 12 weeks. Carey & Associates, P.C. have super lawyers who understand the entire process and can make it easy to understand your case.

WRONGFUL TERMINATION FROM EMPLOYMENT

Wrongful termination is a commonly used phrase that refers to a variety of circumstances where the employee claims a violation of state and federal anti-discrimination laws, violation of state and federal whistle-blower protection laws, and breach of employment contracts. You will need to hire an experienced employment law attorney in Connecticut to review your factual narrative to determine if you have a claim. Carey & Associates, P.C. will investigate your claim and develop a strategy to present the case to the employer in an attempt to reach a resolution. We also develop the case for litigation in the event early settlement discussions fail.

RETALIATION DISCRIMINATION

Once you have complained about discrimination you have engaged in what is referred to as œprotected activity. Any adverse action that your employer takes against you after this point could be used to demonstrate that it was taken in retaliation for your engaging in this protected activity. Contact our employment lawyers today.
