Oklahoma Employment Law Firm
At the Eddy Law Firm, in Oklahoma City, we recognize that our clients are often in difficult situations, either facing the threat of losing their jobs or are already unemployed. Our lawyers are committed to doing all that we can to remedy the legal problems they face in the following areas of employment law:
- Employment discrimination: Discrimination on the job affects not just your ability to earn a living but every other aspect of your life. If you are facing illegal discrimination at work, contact our skilled employment law attorneys for a consultation.
- Harassment/Hostile Work Environment: Sexual harassment can subject workers to a hostile work environment and lead to emotional distress. State and federal employment law protects workers' rights to be free from harassment on the basis of gender, sex and other protected classes.
- Executive Contracts: Our firm is well-known for our ability to negotiate employment contracts, including severance packages, for professional and management employees.
- Civil Rights: All State, County and Municipal workers have civil rights protected by the United States Constitution, including freedom of expression, association, exercise of religious freedom and others.
- Overtime and Wage Disputes: Unless it has happened to you, you may be surprised how often employers fail to keep up with their payroll obligations or to pay appropriate wages and overtime to their workers. We hold employers accountable for this unfair practice. We also handle class action litigation arising from wage and hour disputes.
- Whistleblower/Qui Tam: Often referred to as Qui Tam laws, whistleblower laws such as the Federal False Claims Act provide protection against retaliation for workers who blow the whistle on the illegal policies and practices of their employers. Employers often attempt to stifle whistle blowing through adverse employment actions. If you have been fired or demoted because you reported your employer for wrongful conduct, we can assert your rights.
- Government Employees: Local, state and federal governmental employees have employment rights under state and federal law. We help state, municipal and federal workers exercise those rights.
- Leave or Disability Request: Too often employers respond to requests for leave under the FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act), accommodations under the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) or claims under workers' compensation laws with dismissal from employment. This is not legal. If you have been fired unjustly, contact our office to discuss the facts of your situation.
- Retaliation: If you have suffered an adverse employment action, such as wrongful termination or demotion as a result of filing a claim against your employer, you have rights. Our law firm represents employees who have been retaliated against for filing discrimination complaints, whistleblower claims or claims of first amendment right of free speech violations.
