Experienced Attorneys Handling Employment Law Matters

The working relationship between employers and employees is always shakier than it seems. A single policy change in the company, a single bad manager or a single incident on the part of the employee could jeopardize a seemingly secure employment agreement.

Employment Law FAQs

;

What kinds of problems can an employment attorney address?

An employment attorney can assess discrimination, harassment, retaliation, termination, wage disputes and employment agreements. Stark Law Group represents employees and also advises employers on workplace policies, compliance and disputes. The appropriate next step depends on the facts and the laws that cover the employment relationship.

;

Can an at-will employee still have a legal claim after being fired?

Yes. Pennsylvania generally allows either party to end an at-will employment relationship, but an employer must still follow applicable laws. A firing based on unlawful discrimination or retaliation can be challenged. Contracts and narrow public policy exceptions may also provide protection.

;

How can I recognize possible retaliation at work?

Retaliation involves an adverse action taken because of legally protected activity. Examples may include punishment for reporting discrimination, participating in an investigation or requesting a disability accommodation. A demotion, loss of hours or firing may warrant review when it follows protected activity. Timing alone does not prove a claim.

;

Does unfair treatment always count as unlawful harassment?

No. Under discrimination laws, unlawful harassment generally involves unwelcome conduct linked to a protected characteristic that changes employment terms or is severe or pervasive enough to create a hostile work environment. Rudeness or favoritism may be unfair without meeting that standard. The surrounding facts matter.

;

When is it helpful to speak with an employment lawyer?

Seek advice promptly if you suspect discrimination or retaliation, face ongoing harassment, lose your job under concerning circumstances or receive an agreement releasing legal claims. Early advice can help preserve evidence and identify deadlines. You can consult an attorney while you are still employed.
