Fight Back Against Unfair Treatment in the Workplace
When you’re mistreated on the job, it can feel as though your life is crumbling around you. You spend many of your waking hours at work and your livelihood is at stake. The excruciating decision about whether or not to take action against your employer can feel like a huge financial risk. That’s where Krieger Law Group comes in. We have a deep understanding of both Nevada state law and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, laws designed to protect you in the workplace. We can tell you when your employer is out of line – and then hold them accountable for their actions.
Krieger Law Group has a proven track record in protecting workers while recovering money on their behalf. We can help you if you’ve experienced any of the following while on the job:
Discrimination: If you’ve been denied a job, demoted, fired, paid less, or passed over for promotion because of your race, age, religion, gender, disability, or sexual orientation, then you’ve been discriminated against. The same holds true if your employer fails to provide a reasonable accommodation for your disability. We can fight back, but time is of the essence. There are deadlines for filing discrimination complaints, so the time to act is now.
Hostile Work Environment: If you’re subjected to workplace teasing or bullying based on your race, religion, age, disability, national origin, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation, your employer has an obligation to step in. If they don’t take action or if they take insufficient action, you have the right to sue.
Violations of Wage and Overtime Laws: When it comes to wages, there are a variety of ways that employers can violate state and federal laws. You may be forced to work off the clock before or after your regularly scheduled shift. Your employer might miscalculate the hours you work to avoid paying overtime. They could improperly handle tips. They may misclassify you as “management” to avoid paying overtime. They could call you an independent contractor to avoid paying employer taxes and benefits. Your deserve to be paid for your work, and we can get the pay you deserve while protecting you from unlawful retaliation.
Whistleblower Retaliation: If you’ve shown the courage of your convictions and reported your employer’s wrongdoing, you’re protected from retaliation. If you’ve suffered from an adverse employment action, we can help you fight back. We will doggedly fight for the compensation you deserve.
You deserve to be treated well in your workplace. If your employer is mistreating you, you can count on Krieger Law Group to fight for your rights and make your employer pay.
