Employment Law & Workplace Disputes
Your job is your livelihood, and employment issues can be both financially and emotionally draining. Whether you’re an employee facing an unsafe work environment or an employer navigating complex labor laws, Ally Legal Services is here to help. We represent clients on both sides of employment disputes in Westmoreland County.
Common Employment Claims
Employment law encompasses a broad range of claims under federal and state statutes. Some of the most common include:
Discrimination.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar laws prohibit unequal treatment based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or age. We investigate discriminatory hiring, firing, promotion and compensation practices.
Wage and hour disputes.
The Fair Labor Standards Act governs overtime pay, minimum wage and classification of employees. Unpaid overtime, misclassification and minimum‑wage violations are common issues.
Wrongful termination and breach of employment contracts.
Firing an employee in violation of anti‑discrimination laws, retaliation prohibitions or written agreements.
Retaliation.
Employers may not demote, terminate or otherwise punish employees for filing complaints or participating in investigations.
Non‑compete and restrictive covenant disputes.
Challenges to the enforceability of non‑compete clauses and other contractual terms.
Harassment and hostile work environment
Sexual harassment and bullying become illegal when they create a workplace so hostile that it interferes with the employee’s ability to perform.
Workplace safety claims
Employers must comply with OSHA standards; employees may report unsafe conditions and are protected from retaliation.
