New York Employment Attorneys

Employees in New York are protected by certain state and federal laws preventing workplace discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and more. Unfortunately, violations of these rights still happen often, and employees may not know they have a claim because they’re unaware of the law.

If you suspect that your employer is violating your rights, the New York employment attorneys at Miller Shah LLP may be able to help. We can examine the facts of your case, determine if a violation has occurred, and explain your options for taking action, legal and otherwise.

Miller Shah’s Robust New York Employment Law Practice

The legal team at Miller Shah has decades of experience assisting employees. Our attorneys deal with numerous and varied issues within the field of employment law, including:

• Sex or Gender Discrimination: Sex or gender discrimination can be subtle or obvious and may manifest in many different forms, including unequal pay; disparate privileges and rules; verbal, physical, or sexual misconduct; failing to implement workplace policies to safeguard LGBTQ+ individuals from discrimination; among others.
• Disability Discrimination: Employers might be held liable for discrimination if they fail to provide disabled employees with reasonable accommodations.
• Age Discrimination: Employees over the age of 40 years old cannot be discriminated against because of their age.
• Employer Retaliation: Employers cannot punish employees or retaliate against them for filing complaints about workplace harassment or discrimination. Similarly, employers are prohibited from retaliating against or penalizing employees who report a company’s violations of the law to law enforcement or federal agencies.
• Color or Racial Discrimination: Intentional acts, racial animus, or practices that negatively affect specific racial groups constitute unlawful discrimination, regardless of whether discrimination was the intended outcome.
• Pregnancy Discrimination: Pregnancy discrimination is among the most common forms of discrimination against women in the workplace. It may occur in various contexts, including failing to provide pregnant employees with reasonable accommodations at work.
• Sexual Harassment: Unwanted sexual conduct, advances, discussions, or comments, whether obvious or subtle, may be a violation of employee rights.
• Medical Leave Violations: Qualified employees who have been denied medical leave or fired after requesting or immediately upon returning from leave may have a valid claim for employee rights violation.
• Wrongful Termination: Employees might have a valid violation claim if they were fired for reasons related to their gender, race, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, reporting a violation, or request for a medical leave.

In addition to all of the foregoing, you should contact a New York employment attorney if you have been pressured to sign a contract that relinquishes your employee rights or if your employer is not providing the benefits offered to you in your employment agreement.
