Laws prohibit the termination of an employee in retaliation for filing a workers compensation claim
The Workers’ Compensation statute in one state, NJSA 34:15-39.1 only prohibits the termination of an employee in retaliation for filing a workers compensation claim or for testifying at a workers’ compensation hearing. If you feel you were terminated for these reasons, one alternative is the filing of a discrimination complaint against your employer with the Division of Workers’ Compensation. Then contact our lawyers.

 

New York Employment and Employee Rights Lawyers are legal professionals specializing in employee, employer, and employment rights.

The United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) set employment standards that require employers adopt certain practices, means, methods or processes reasonably necessary and appropriate to protect workers on the job. Employers must become familiar with the standards applicable to their establishments and eliminate hazards.

Compliance with standards may include ensuring that employees have and use personal protective equipment when required for safety or health. Employees must comply with all rules and regulations that apply to their own actions and conduct.

When employers subvert OSHA's requirements, personal injuries and substantial losses of income may result due to the negligence of the employer.

An Employment Lawyer can do many things for you, including:

  • File any and all claims or lawsuits pertaining to you and your case
  • Research all recent changes in Labor Laws pertaining to you and your case
  • Fight for you in court

Many employment laws (e.g., minimum wage regulations) were enacted as protective labor legislation. Other employment laws take the form of public insurance, such as unemployment compensation.

Employment law is a broad area that includes all areas of the employer/employee relationship except the negotiation process covered by labor law and collective bargaining.

Employment lawyers handle cases including:

  • Collective Bargaining
  • Employment Discrimination
  • Unemployment Compensation
  • Pensions
  • Workplace Safety
  • Worker's Compensation

  Outsourcing High-Tech Jobs to Rural America
Audio, RM, 44 Kbps, 7:46, 2/14/2005

In the last decade, an increasing number of American companies have been radically cutting costs by sending manufacturing and customer service jobs overseas, where labor costs can be dramatically lower. Now there's an attempt to bring outsourcing jobs back to smaller cities and towns.
