Employment Discrimination

Employment law is a broad area encompassing many areas of the employer/employee relationship. Employment law consists of thousands of Federal and state statues and regulations. The federal government and most states have laws that prohibit private persons, organizations and governments from discriminating against people by:

  • Sexual Harassment - where the employer subjects an employee in the work environment to unwelcome verbal and/or physical sexual behavior or other abusive behavior including sexual demands.
  • Racial Harassment - Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 bars employers from discriminating in employment decisions on the basis of an individual's race. Types of racial discrimination include racial harassment, failure to hire or promote, creating a racially hostile work environment and termination because of race.
  • Disability Discrimination - The Americans with Disabilities Act and local laws prohibit discrimination against and harassment of qualified individuals with a disability who can perform the functions of their job with reasonable accommodation.
  • Age Discrimination - In employment, individuals are protected from age discrimination by employers on the basis of age under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.

Employment discrimination can take the form of an adverse action that affects an employee such as failure to promote, demotion, suspension, termination or loss of benefits. Other forms of employment discrimination include a hostile work environment, verbal or physical harassment or can happen when an employer fails to reasonably accommodate an employee with a disability. Our firm has an excellent record, often obtaining dismissal of the claims before trial. St. John, Brennan & Folan, L.L.P. have assisted in the development and review of employee handbooks and employment policies and procedures.

Arbitration-Mediation

Often, litigation does not present the most efficient means of resolving a dispute. In this instance, we are prepared to pursue arbitration or alternate means of settlement in order to swiftly and amicably find a solution. Awards are made in writing and are enforceable in court under state and federal statutes. We view arbitration not as a concession, but as a creative and economical medium to achieve awards commiserate to those won in litigation.
