Cape Coral EMPLOYMENT LAW

Employment law is meant to protect both employees and employers, but if you're experiencing a problem at work having to do with harassment, unpaid overtime or benefits, or wrongful dismissal, you know the law can be complicated, especially for someone without legal training. That's why we're here. Whatever your concern, a Cape Coral labor lawyer can help you make sense of the laws and regulations and receive the fair treatment and benefits that are due to you.

Do any of the following scenarios sound familiar to you?

Discrimination:

  • Your boss or coworkers frequently make disparaging remarks about your race, skin color, or ethnic background
  • You believe you have repeatedly been passed over for pay raises or promotions due to your age, race, or gender
  • Your boss or a fellow worker has a habit of cornering you and telling you how attractive you look in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable

Wrongful Dismissal and Unemployment Benefits:

  • Your Cape Coral job was terminated without notice and you're uncertain how much severance pay you're owed, but you believe your former employer might have shortchanged you
  • You were laid off without notice and have not received your final paycheck, severance benefits, or vacation pay
  • Your former employer laid you off when the company was restructured, but now claims that you were fired and will not give accurate information to the unemployment office, preventing you from receiving unemployment benefits

Overtime Pay:

  • You believe your boss fudges the accounting to avoid paying you for the overtime hours you've worked
  • You have worked statutory holidays and have not received the compensation you're owed for these hours
  • Your boss claims that because you only worked 30 hours during the last week, you’re not eligible for overtime pay for the 50 hours you’ve worked this week

Whether you're a laid off employee, an employer facing an undeserved lawsuit, or have any other labor grievances, a Cape Coral employment attorney can help you resolve the situation and reach the most favorable possible outcome.
