Employment Law
Employment law covers a broad range of issues including minimum and overtime wages, unpaid wages, discrimination in hiring and termination, and unemployment benefits.
The Federal and State governments both provide a number of protections for employees. Most of them fall under expansive pieces of legislation with acronyms like FLSA, FMLA, OFLA and ADA. These laws cover everything from minimum wage and overtime to paternity leave and accommodations for disability.
If you believe you've been wrongfully terminated, experienced discrimination, or are owed overtime or vacation pay, Kara can help you figure out what your next step should be. Many people think that you go straight to court with these kind of issues, but often there are faster, easier, and more cost effective remedies to be found. Kara can also assist you with unemployment insurance hearings and appeals.
