FACING CHALLENGES FOR EMPLOYEESlogo

When employees are unfairly treated by their employers, it is important to consult a lawyer to understand what rights the law provides. Discrimination occurs when employees are treated differently from their co-workers because they belong to one or more legally protected groups.

Practice Areas

Discrimination

State and federal law prohibits employers from discriminating against employees or prospective employees based on an individual’s protected characteristics. If your employer has violated your rights by discriminating against you, you deserve financial compensation for the harm you’ve suffered as a result. While the process of seeking this compensation can be a difficult one, it’s also not one you have to go through alone. Instead, turn to an employment discrimination lawyer from Ramage Lykos to guide you through your claim and advocate for your rights and interests.

Harassment

Have you experienced harassment at work from a co-worker, supervisor, manager, or another person in the workplace? State and federal laws prohibit workplace harassment based on protected characteristics and give employees who suffer such harassment the right to seek financial recovery and justice through a legal claim. Contact Ramage Lykos, LLC for an initial case evaluation with a Pittsburgh workplace harassment attorney to discuss whether you may have a claim and learn how we can help you demand accountability from your employer.
Retaliation at work case Retaliation at work case - Ramage Lykos, LLC

Retaliation

Employees in Pennsylvania are protected by both state and federal laws that safeguard against retaliation. Unfortunately, many people still find themselves victims of unjust treatment after standing up for their rights. Whether it’s reporting discrimination, filing a workplace safety complaint, or standing against unlawful practices, retaliation is illegal. Unfortunately, it can also significantly affect your career and overall well-being.

FMLA

Family and medical emergencies don’t always come with warnings. That leaves employees in a difficult position: balancing their work responsibilities with their personal and health needs. The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) gives employees the ability to take unpaid, job-protected leave for certain family and medical reasons. Unfortunately, even with these protections in place, many employees face wrongful denial, retaliation, or confusion about their rights.
