Representing Employees Who Have Been Fired and Mistreated
New York is considered an at-will state for employment law purposes, which means that workers who do not have employment contracts can generally be fired or laid off for any reason. However, employment discrimination is an important exception to this general rule.
Federal and/or New York state laws protect employees from workplace discrimination on the basis of race, gender, religion, national origin, age, disability and sexual orientation.
The law also prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of military status, domestic violence victim status and marital status. People with criminal arrest and conviction records that are not relevant to their current jobs are also protected from workplace discrimination.
You do not need to be fired to have an employment discrimination claim. If you have been passed up for a promotion or paid a lower salary on a discriminatory basis, you may also have a claim. Our firm helps clients bring all types of discrimination claims, including retaliation claims.
