Employment Law Issues

We are experienced in handling a wide variety of employment issues, including:

• Discrimination, sexual harassment  - We vigorously advocate on behalf of individuals who have been unlawfully discriminated against in the workplace. We pursue discrimination claims before the Colorado Civil Rights Division and the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Colorado Civil Rights Act and laws protecting public employees. Also, if you have been subjected to sexual abuse or outrageous conduct at the workplace, we can press for your protection and advise as to your rights regarding ending employment. 
• Breach of employment agreements - We enforce broken promises made by your employer at various stages of the employment process, from agreements made at hiring to promises of promotion to wrongful discharge.  A proveable verbal agreement is just like a written one. 
• Noncompete agreements - From beginning to end of the employment process, we can help. At the outset of a new job, we will negotiate contracts for you and advise you as to your rights and obligations. At termination or departure, we will defend any allegations of breach  of the employment agreement.
• Insurance coverage issues - Questions about COBRA, disability insurance, life insurance and pensions typically arise when employees leave their job or take an extended leave. We will help you understand your rights to continued coverage, the applicable law and represent your interest during the claims or litigation process. We can negotiate severance packages that include employer-paid health insurance or persuade employers to provide extended health benefits after an employee's departure.
• Leave, wages and overtime - We help our clients understand and enforce their rights under various state and federal laws regarding sick leave, family or maternity leave. In addition, we provide skilled guidance on issues related to employer's obligations and employee rights in regard to wages, overtime and other benefits.
• Layoffs and reductions in force - Many employees, especially classified government employees, have protection against layoffs or bumps. This applies to employees of the State of Colorado, federal employees and employees of educational systems.
• Unemployment Insurance -  in this area we represent both employers and employees.  
  

TIP: The U.S. Department of Labor has advice called employment laws assistance for workers and small business, "elaws" on its interactive website, www.dol.gov/elaws. The site contains good information about disability nondiscrimination, family leave, and veterans' benefits.
