PRACTICE AREAS

Employment/Labor

Retaliation

Employment discrimination is only one type of employment dispute. Legal claims may also arise if an employer terminates an employee for filing a workers’ compensation claim, reporting a safety concern or participating in a civil rights investigation. For example, an employee who is hurt on the job and fired the next day may have a claim for retaliation, regardless whether he or she had filed a workers’ compensation claim at the time of termination. Whistleblower statutes often have specific requirements and short deadlines for filing claims. It is imperative that employees who believe they may have suffered illegal retaliation seek legal advice immediately.

“Unfair” termination

Not all terminations are illegal, some are just unfair. Olsheski Law Co., LPA, can help employees know the difference between an unfair termination and an illegal termination. Where an employee is fired unfairly, an employee can file for unemployment benefits. Many employers dispute unemployment claims; disputed claims are eventually set for hearings with the Unemployment Compensation Review Commission. Olsheski Law Co., LPA, regularly handles unemployment hearings and can assist employees in obtaining the benefits they need and deserve.

Again, some employment disputes result in legal claims and some do not and many claims have strict deadlines. Legal rights may be lost if employees do not take timely action to redress an employment dispute. Call Olsheski Law Co. LPA for a consultation if you believe you have suffered an unfair or illegal employment action.
