The workplace plays a central role in the lives of nearly all Atlanta residents. You likely spend thousands of hours each year on the job or at your place of business. As an employee or employer, you have certain rights and protections that are afforded to you by state and federal employment laws. It is important that employers understand these rights and comply with labor laws that affect your business or workplace. As an employee, you should be aware of your rights and be prepared to take action if they are violated. You should not standby. Many federal statutes include provisions for the payment of attorney fees and we will work with you to make sure you get the compensation you deserve. If you believe your rights have been violated, you should speak with an Atlanta Employment Attorney immediately.

Atlanta Employment Attorneys
We limit our practice so we can concentrate on expertly representing both public and private sector employees in three areas: workplace discrimination and retaliation claims, overtime/working off the clock claims, and violations of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). We pride ourselves on representing hard working Georgians when their civil rights are violated by an employer. Our society expects employers to treat their workers with dignity, respect and to both not discriminate/harass their employees nor to punish them when they complain of discrimination or harassment. There are federal and state laws in place to protect your rights. If you believe you have been mistreated in the workplace or discriminated against or harassed because of your race, religion, your gender, national origin, your age, or a disability you have or in retaliation because of a complaint about one of the above, speak with one of our Atlanta employment lawyers today. All consultations are free, confidential, and with a licensed attorney.
Atlanta Sexual Harassment Attorneys
Sexual harassment is barred by Title VII, a federal law that prohibits several forms of discrimination or harassment and it protects individuals from being subjected to such offenses. Discrimination can be of race, nationality, color, disability, age and sexuality, and Title VII applies to both private and public employers with 15 or more employees. This includes local, state and federal governments, labor organizations and employment agencies. See the EEOC website for more details. If you were the victim of sexual harassment, you need a Georgia sexual harassment attorney who can help you with your discrimination case.

Atlanta Racial Discrimination Attorneys
Race Discrimination like other forms of discrimination or harassment is barred by two federal laws, Title VII and 42 USC §1981. These laws make it illegal for employers, including state and local governments to make employment decisions on the basis of an individual’s race. Race discrimination can include: racial harassment, failure to hire or promote, creation of a racially hostile work environment, and/or termination due to race.
