UNDERSTANDING EMPLOYMENT LAW
Employment law refers to various state and federal laws outlining the rights and responsibilities of both employees and employers in the U.S. These rights are extensive and varied, covering everything from fair pay to permitted leaves of absence, workplace harassment, discrimination, and more.
Regardless of your job or the industry in which you work, it is important that you know your rights. If your employer violates your rights, you could be entitled to financial compensation for certain damages you have sustained, such as lost wages or income, as well as reinstatement and even punitive damages.
YOUR RIGHTS AS AN EMPLOYEE
Employee rights vary somewhat from state to state. That being said, certain federal statutes protect the rights of all employees, regardless of where they live or work.
Some important federal employee laws you should know include:
These are just some of the federal laws that impact your rights as an employee. Additional statutes govern the rights of workers in specific industries, such as agriculture, construction, transportation, mining, maritime, and more.

EMPLOYMENT ATTORNEY
The exact damages you can recover in an employment law case depend on several factors, including the type of case you have and the losses you have sustained due to the violation of your rights. That being said, many people can seek compensation for lost wages, lost benefits, emotional distress, reputational damage, attorney fees, and other related damages. You may be entitled to punitive damages, which are meant to punish the defendant (i.e., the employer) for egregious negligence or willful/wanton misconduct. In some cases, employees who were wrongfully terminated can seek reinstatement.
The employment lawyers at Potts Law Firm can help you determine the types of damages you may be entitled to receive, as well as the potential overall value of your claim.
Overtime must be paid at a rate of one-and-a-half times an employee’s regular rate of pay. Employers must pay overtime to all non-exempt employees for excess hours worked, based on both federal and state laws.
Under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, it is unlawful to discriminate against an employee based on race, color, religion, national origin, or sex. These are considered “protected classes” nationwide. Additionally, many states have adopted anti-discrimination statutes that prohibit workplace discrimination based on other protected classes, such as sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, age, genetic information, etc.
Workplace discrimination occurs when an individual is treated unjustly based on one of these protected classes. This can include discriminatory hiring, firing, terminating, transferring, promotion, compensation, and accommodation practices, among others.
