Some
people are lucky to find a job they love, while others may have to
stumble a few times before finding a work environment that's right
for them. Unfortunately, there are also times when employment
problems arise, especially when labor laws are violated and workers'
rights are infringed. If you ever find yourself facing any of the
following employment-related issues, you may need to consult a
reliable employment lawyer to guide and help you out.
Workplace
Discrimination and Harassment
Discrimination
occurs when a person or a group are given unfair treatment in the
workplace because of their race, sex, religion, age, and other
personal factors. If the discriminatory behavior escalates to verbal
or physical abuse, it can already be considered as harassment.
Remember that you have the right to a safe and harmonious work
environment.
Denial
of Compensation
Whether
your job entails working in front of the computer or working in a
dangerous construction site, you should always be covered by worker’s
compensation. If any accident or injury befalls you while at work,
your lost wages and medical bills must be paid for by your employer.
Failure to do so is a violation of your rights to lawful
compensation.
Breach
of Contract
Contracts
are made to be followed and to protect both parties from major
misunderstandings in the future. Thus, if your employer fails to
stick to their side of the bargain and you've tried all the other
ways to sort things out, you may have to takelegal action.
