Employment Law--Employee

Jupiter Employment Law Lawyer

Employment law covers a complex network of federal and state laws that govern how employers must treat employees, former employees, and applicants for employment. As an employee, it is important that you know and protect your legal rights.

Our Employment Law Practice Group at Louis P. Pfeffer & Associates, P.A. has more than 20 years of experience protecting the rights of employees. We have successfully handled employment law cases involving employee drug testing, employee rights, employment at will, employment discrimination, wrongful termination, and high-stakes employment litigation. Contact us today to speak with a Florida employment lawyer dedicated to the aggressive protection of your rights.

Florida is an employment-at-will state in which an employee can be discharged for a good, a bad, or for no reason at all. If you are an employee on the receiving end of wrongful termination, however, you may have legal recourse. We can help you seek the justice you are entitled to with regard to:

• Discrimination (race, sex, religion, national origin, disability, age)
• Retaliation (i.e., with regard to whistle blower claims, collection of workers' comp benefits, being denied leave under FMLA)
• Unpaid wages / overtime wages
• Unpaid commissions

We also can negotiate a severance agreement / package for an employee who believes their rights were violated whether regarding the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), a plant closing, or overtime pay rights.

While employees are our primary focus, we also represent employers in such areas as collective bargaining, labor arbitration, and labor disputes. Having represented employers and insurance companies for more than 15 years, we have learned how they think and how they operate. While representing employees, we apply that knowledge to work in their favor.
