We Handle All Types of Employment Issues
Do you have a current dispute at work? Call Venardi Zurada to see if we can help. Our team has jumped in to assist people with:
- Wrongful termination—Your employer fired you in violation of your employment contract or for an illegally discriminatory purpose. You can seek reinstatement, backpay, and other remedies.
- Employment discrimination—Both state and federal laws prohibit discrimination in all aspects of employment based on certain protected characteristics such as age, race, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity, sex, and disability. You deserve compensation, as well as possible emotional distress damages.
- Wage & hour violations—Some employers fail to pay the minimum wage or required overtime. Others simply don’t count time worked at the start or end of a shift, costing workers thousands of dollars each year. You deserve to be paid for all hours you worked, and we can even request a civil penalty.
- Sexual harassment—Workers do not have to tolerate hostile workplaces or suffering being propositioned by a boss.
- Class actions—Often, an employer cheats hundreds or thousands of employees of fair wages, and workers can band together to take on a giant corporation in a class action lawsuit.
- Contract negotiations—Employment contracts serve as the foundation of many employer-employee relationships. A contract should include information about pay and benefits, as well as termination and discipline. Work with experienced legal counsel to ensure your contract is fair before you sign it.
- Severance negotiations—Leaving a company requires a careful consideration of the severance package, if one is offered. We can negotiate with an employer to increase the amount offered, as well as protect you when it comes to non-disclosure agreements and non-competes.
These are some of the most important services we offer. Call us to find out if we can help with your issue.
