Employment Attorney Cincinnati, Ohio
Federal and state laws give employees and job applicants in Ohio many rights to demand fair pay and equal treatment. Those same laws, like the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, also require employers to respect workers’ rights.
How Do I Know If I Need a Cincinnati Employment Attorney?
Too often, employers violate these laws. The result is that employees do not get paid for all the hours they work or don’t get paid overtime for all hours worked over 40 hours per week. They suffer from abuse, discrimination, and harassment. They get demoted or lose their jobs for reasons that have nothing to do with their own performance or the financial circumstances of the company. Some are even placed in physical danger from bullying and assaults.
When such things happen in southeast Ohio, it is time to consult with an employment lawyer in Cincinnati, Ohio. Speaking with a Cincinnati employment attorney who knows the law and has experience holding employers accountable for mistreating workers will clarify legal options and explain the steps that can be taken to receive back pay and other forms of compensation.
Enlisting the help of a lawyer who only represents employees also levels the playing field. Employers will have their own legal team whose job it is to defend the company and attempt to prevent the worker from receiving a settlement or winning a lawsuit.
