To get a general understanding of your case and its needs, we share some essential information on employment law:
Types of Employment Cases
At Punchwork Law, we take on all kinds of employment law cases, not just those pertaining to violations against the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Here’s a brief list of some cases we’ve taken on and won:
Wrongful Termination Cases
A “wrongful termination” case occurs when an employee is fired in a way that violates the law or their employment contract. Some reasonable cases where you can claim you’ve been wrongfully terminated by your employer include:
- Losing your job after refusing to commit unlawful acts like fraud on behalf of your employer.
- Getting sacked cause you made a workers’ compensation claim after getting injured on the job.
- Being told you are no longer needed by your employer after reporting them for committing illegal code violations.
When moments like these occur, do not hesitate. Talk to an experienced Illinois wrongful termination attorney ASAP.
Employment Discrimination Cases
Employment discrimination occurs when a person is treated unfairly or less favorably by others clearly due to their race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, or genetic information. A couple of examples of cases like this would be:
- An employer is found to be filtering job applicants and removing only certain individuals due to racial or religious characteristics.
- Another employer is rejecting an employee’s promotion based on age.
Cases like these usually involve violations of federal and state law under the Illinois Human Rights Act, which you can learn about here.
Workplace Harassment Cases
Similar to employment discrimination, workplace harassment cases include being called slurs, receiving offensive jokes, threats, or intimidation based on the various protected characteristics we described before.
When these forms of harassment are done to create a potentially hostile work environment, that is when you should talk to a workplace harassment and employment discrimination lawyer.
Workers’ Compensation Cases
A workers’ compensation case consists of a dispute in which an employee claims they have been injured or become ill due to their work, but their employer is withholding their benefits.
In plain terms, this means if you get hurt on the job and your company refuses to compensate you during recovery, you can potentially sue them.
For each of the different types of cases above, you want to make sure you have your facts right and your case air-tight. Talk to Punchwork Law and our Illinois EEOC law experts before it’s too late.
