Protecting Employees Against Unfair Workplace Practices

At Areinoff Harbicht Law, LLC, we are committed to advocating for employees in all aspects of employment law. We address issues in the workplace and ensure that employers are held accountable for any violations. Below is a detailed breakdown of the services we offer.

  • Employees are protected under federal and state laws from discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, and other protected statuses. If you have been treated unfairly, denied a promotion, paid less than coworkers, or faced negative employment actions due to a protected characteristic, you may have a legal claim. We work to hold employers accountable and ensure that employees are treated fairly in the workplace.

  • Harassment in the workplace can create a toxic and unlawful environment. This includes sexual harassment, verbal abuse, intimidation, and other hostile behaviors that interfere with an employee’s ability to work safely and effectively. If you are experiencing harassment, whether from a coworker, supervisor, or employer, we can help you take legal action to put an end to the mistreatment and seek appropriate remedies.

  • Employers cannot fire an employee for unlawful reasons, including discrimination, retaliation, or whistleblower activities. If you were terminated for reasons that violate employment laws or company policies, you may be entitled to reinstatement, lost wages, and other damages. We analyze the circumstances of your termination and fight to protect your rights.

  • Employees have the right to report unsafe, illegal, or unethical workplace behavior without fear of retaliation. If you have been demoted, harassed, or terminated after reporting discrimination, harassment, wage violations, safety concerns, or other workplace issues, you may have a claim for retaliation. We advocate for whistleblowers and employees who stand up for their rights, ensuring they receive the protections they deserve.

  • Employers are required to pay employees fairly for their work. Violations such as unpaid wages, failure to pay overtime, or misclassifying employees can lead to significant financial losses. If your employer has failed to pay you correctly or has engaged in improper wage practices, we can help you recover what you are owed.

  • Some employers attempt to classify workers as independent contractors or exempt employees to avoid paying overtime, benefits, and other protections required by law. Misclassification can result in lost wages and denial of employment rights. If you suspect you have been misclassified, we can evaluate your case and take action to ensure you receive the compensation and benefits to which you are entitled.

  • Employees are entitled to various forms of protected leave under both federal and state law. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows eligible employees to take unpaid, job-protected leave for serious health conditions, or the birth or adoption of a child. Some states also require Paid Leave benefits that provide financial support during time away from work for qualifying reasons.

    Employers are prohibited from interfering with your right to take leave or retaliating against you for doing so. If your leave request has been unfairly denied, if you’ve been pressured to return early, or if you’ve faced negative employment actions for taking leave, you may have a legal claim. We can help you protect your rights and pursue the benefits you are owed.

  • Litigation is not always the best or most efficient path to resolution. In many cases, employment disputes can be settled through negotiation and pre-litigation settlements. We work to resolve disputes effectively, securing fair outcomes without the need for lengthy court battles.
