Adapting to Changes in Employment Practices
In the past, disputes between employers and employees were often resolved through simple, informal conversations. An employee would either comply with the employer’s wishes or leave the job to seek new opportunities. Today, employment relationships have become more complex, with laws protecting the rights and welfare of employees gaining prominence.
To effectively safeguard your interests, whether as an employer or an employee, it is crucial to work with a Bloomingdale employment law attorney who understands the intricacies of employment contracts and ensures they are fair to both parties.
Protecting Your Rights as an Employee
Regardless of where you work, there is always the possibility of encountering issues that challenge your rights as an employee. Whether you need to assert your rights regarding a contract or defend yourself against allegations that could impact your employment, having a solid understanding of how employment laws have evolved is vital.
Over the years, employment laws have changed to reflect advancements in civil rights, human resources, and workplace environments, especially with the rapid growth of technology. Whether you are employed by the government, a non-profit organization, a corporation, a small business, or as a contractor, having a Bloomingdale employment law attorney who can advocate for your interests is invaluable.
Legal Challenges Faced by Employers and Employees
Employers and business owners strive to create a positive workplace environment because it directly influences productivity, efficiency, and, ultimately, profit. Maintaining a respectful relationship with employees is also important, ensuring that no codes or contracts related to authority, information, or property are violated.
As an employee, your interests are equally significant. You deserve a safe, fair, and healthy workplace free from discrimination and workplace abuse. At Business Law Group, LLC, we have extensive experience representing both employers and employees in a wide range of cases, including allegations of workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, misconduct, wage law violations, privacy breaches, and violations of safety and health laws. We are dedicated to supporting both employees and employers in creating a fair workplace system that does not tolerate discrimination based on disability, sex, race, or sexual orientation.
Understanding Federal Employee Rights
Federal employees are often perceived as having job security and protection from termination. It is also commonly believed that federal employees work in ideal conditions, free from discrimination and retaliation for whistleblowing.
While it is true that federal employees have certain legal protections that are not available to private sector employees, they also face a complex administrative system when it comes to filing complaints. Resolving grievances within federal institutions can be particularly challenging.
Federal employees are not immune to workplace harassment, discrimination, denial of deserved promotions or salary increases, wrongful termination, or retaliation for whistleblowing. They deserve competent legal assistance to address and resolve these issues.
The challenge lies in navigating the complex system that federal employees must go through to successfully pursue a workplace complaint. However, taking these steps can be crucial in transforming an abusive workplace system into a functional and healthy one.
Supporting Current and Former Members of the Armed Forces
Despite the institutional privileges granted to those who serve in the U.S. Armed Forces, they remain vulnerable to unfair treatment and discrimination in the workplace. As the number of individuals serving in the military decreases each year, those returning to civilian life may find it challenging to secure employment and build new careers.
At Business Law Group, LLC, we aim to assist current and former members of the Armed Forces in upholding their rights and protecting themselves against discrimination and mistreatment in the workplace, whether in federal or private organizations.
Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)
The rights of uniformed service members and the responsibilities of their civilian employers are outlined in the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA). The Act guarantees the following rights:
- The right to be reemployed in the same or a similar position after returning from military service.
- Protection against discrimination based on military history.
- The right to continue employer-based health care coverage for up to 24 months while serving in the military.
- Equal employment advancement opportunities as those without military history.
- Protection against penalties in terms of seniority or job position due to military service.
- The right to enforce these protections without facing discrimination or retaliation based on military history.
If you believe you are experiencing workplace discrimination or hostility due to your military background, you deserve to have your legal rights protected. Business Law Group, LLC is here to help.
