 Alabama Lawyer Protecting Your Rights as an Employee
Are You a Victim of Employment Discrimination or Harassment? Employees are protected by a complex network of laws that dictate how employers should treat current employees, former employees and job applicants. I have dedicated my practice to protecting people throughout north Alabama against illegal employment practices. While it may seem as if employees are powerless against the companies they work for, there are numerous ways that people can assert their rights. I have helped many clients protect their rights by fighting back in court. If you have been a victim of discrimination or harassment in the workplace, use my online form or call me at 888-764-4141 to schedule a free consultation. Employment Discrimination What is discrimination in the workplace? If you are a member of a "protected class" such as racial or ethnic groups, women and the disabled, it is illegal for an employer to make employment decisions based on the characteristics of that class or because an employee has complained about discrimination. I represent employees who have experienced employment discrimination based on: - Age
- Race, color or national origin
- Religion
- Gender or sex
- Sexual orientation
- Pregnancy
- Leave protected by the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
- Disability (disabling medical conditions or those an employer believes are disabling)
- Filing a worker's compensation claim
- Complaining about discrimination (retaliation)
- Whistleblowing (reporting certain acts of corporate or government wrongdoing)
Proving employment discrimination is frequently a difficult process, since employers more often than not cover up their discriminatory intent with false allegations. I will work hard to help you expose the lies and prove your employer's true motivation was illegal discrimination. Harassment in the Workplace Like discrimination, generally harassment by a supervisor or co-worker must be motivated by a protected characteristic like race or gender for it to be actionable in court. To be actionable, harassment must also be severe or pervasive. If you have been subjected to severe or pervasive harassment that has created a hostile work environment, I will work hard to help you stop the harassment and seek compensation for the emotional distress you have suffered. Your Case, My Cause If you experienced illegal discrimination or harassment, let me put my knowledge and experience to work for you. Your case is my cause. Contact me using my online intake form to contact me, or call 888-764-4141 to speak to me personally. I handle most cases on a contingent-fee basis, which means my fee is a percentage of the compensation I recover for you. If you collect no monetary compensation, you pay no attorney's fees. My office hours are weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with early morning, evening or weekend hours available by appointment. Henry F. Sherrod III, P.C.
