Annapolis Employment Law Attorneys

Lawyers for Employees and Employers in Annapolis, MD

In Maryland and other parts of the United States, there are many different laws that protect the rights of employees, place responsibilities on employers, and address situations where disputes may arise. Employees may need to take steps to address unfair or illegal actions by employers, and employers may need to respond to complaints from employees and ensure that they are in compliance with all applicable laws. Understanding the best ways to address these concerns can be difficult, but a skilled and experienced attorney can help determine the ideal solutions while working to resolve disputes that may arise. At Freedman Law, LLC, our lawyers provide comprehensive legal support and representation for clients who need to address concerns related to employment law.

Addressing Workplace Discrimination

Discrimination in the workplace can take many forms, and employees may be treated unfairly or unequally due to protected characteristics. Race discrimination, age discrimination, gender discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination, and other forms of unequal treatment are prohibited by law. Employees can take steps to address the harm they have suffered due to discrimination, including being passed over for hiring or promotions, receiving unequal pay or benefits, or being subject to harassment. Our lawyers can help employees gather evidence of discrimination, file complaints with federal or state agencies, and pursue litigation if necessary.

Combating Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

Sexual harassment affects many people, and it may come from managers, coworkers, or customers. Employees may experience hostile or intimidating conduct, they may be asked to engage in sexual conduct in return for promotions or other perks, or they may be penalized if they do not meet the demands of a supervisor. Our attorneys can assist victims of sexual harassment by helping them take action to address the harm they have suffered, which may include retaliation or wrongful termination for reporting harassment, as well as physical injuries or emotional trauma.

Recovering Unpaid Wages

Wage disputes may arise when employees believe they have not been paid the full amount they are owed for their work. These cases may involve unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, or other wage theft practices. Our lawyers can help employees calculate the wages they are owed, negotiate with employers for payment, and, if necessary, take legal action to recover lost wages.

Navigating Severance Agreements

When an employee's time working for a company comes to an end, they may be offered severance agreements. These agreements outline the terms of the employee's departure, including any severance pay, the continuation of certain benefits, and non-disclosure or non-compete agreements. Because severance agreements can sometimes include terms that are unfavorable to the employee or do not properly compensate an employee for protecting their former employer's interests, it is important to work with an employment lawyer who can review the severance agreement, negotiate better terms, and ensure that the employee's rights are protected.
