Chillicothe Employment Law Lawyers

Employment law is the area of law that deals with employees’ and employers’ rights. In most cases, your employer has the right to terminate your employment without notice and without giving you a reason for the termination. But you, too, have the right to seek compensation , including lost pay related to the firing if you were terminated as an act of discrimination or retaliation.

As employment lawyers, our job is to defend employees’ rights and work to seek justice for our clients. A significant part of that job is to counsel employees who have been wronged to determine the appropriate course of action to take to seek compensation and justice.

Case Types Our Firm Handles

Our team works with clients facing the following types of dispute:

Wage and hour disputes;
Denial of benefits;
Wrongful termination;
Retaliation;
Discrimination;
Non-compete agreements and other employment contracts;
Misclassification as an independent contractor;
Employee misconduct;
Workplace safety violations;
Sexual harassment claims;
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) issues;
Overtime claims; and
Issues related to at-will employment.

Recovering Compensation for your Damages through an Employment Claim

The compensation you can recover through your claim depends on the nature of the violation and the extent of your losses. Your compensation package could include:

Compensation for your lost wages, including front pay and back pay. Back pay is the money you should have earned while the violation occurred, such as overtime pay that was compensated at your typical rate. Front pay is compensation you could have earned if you remained with your employer;
Compensation for medical expenses if the violation caused you to be injured or pay for medical care out of pocket when you should have had healthcare benefits; and
Compensation for your emotional trauma related to the violation.
