In this expanded discussion, we delve deeper into the proactive approach our experienced employment attorneys take to ensure the protection and advancement of our client’s rights.

Pregnancy Discrimination Issues in the Workplace

Pregnancy discrimination remains a persistent issue, affecting expectant mothers in numerous workplaces. Our attorneys at Lober & Dobson, LLC actively address this concern by not only providing legal representation but also fostering awareness. Experiencing workplace discrimination such as harassment, retaliation, or other unlawful conduct in the workplace can be both emotionally and financially draining, whether it results in your being fired, laid off, suffering a demotion, being denied a promotion, losing pay, or being subjected to some form of legal action. Our pregnancy discrimination lawyers at Lober and Dobson, LLC help play a vital role in the battle against this injustice, using our legal expertise, investigative skills, and advocacy to protect the rights of pregnant women in the workplace.

A Holistic Approach to Discrimination and Hostile Work Environments

Discrimination, whether based on protected characteristics or contributing to a hostile work environment, requires a comprehensive approach. There are a variety of state and federal laws that prohibit discrimination on various grounds, including age, sex, race, religion, disability, and national origin. Our legal team collaborates closely with clients, employing strategic interventions to address discriminatory practices and create lasting change within organizations. By promoting awareness of workplace rights and encouraging open dialogue, we aim to contribute to a workplace culture that respects and embraces differences.

Championing Whistleblower Protection

Whistleblowers often face significant challenges, both professionally and personally, when exposing illegal activities within their organizations. Our attorneys specialize in providing not only legal protection but also emotional support for whistleblowers. By championing their cause, we contribute to fostering a corporate environment that values ethical conduct and discourages retaliation against those who speak out against wrongdoing.

Navigating the Complexities of FMLA

Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) violations can be intricate, requiring a nuanced understanding of the law. Our legal experts at Lober & Dobson, LLC meticulously navigate the complexities of FMLA cases, ensuring that clients understand their rights and receive the protection they deserve. By actively engaging with employers and advocating for compliance, we contribute to fostering a work environment that recognizes the importance of work-life balance.

Fighting Wage and Hour Injustices

Wage and hour disputes, particularly those involving failure to pay overtime, demand a steadfast commitment to justice. Our attorneys diligently pursue fair compensation for employees who have been denied their rightful pay. By taking a proactive stance against wage and hour violations, we contribute to fostering an environment where employees are treated fairly and compensated justly for their hard work.

Championing Disability Rights

Long-term disability benefit denials can have profound financial implications for individuals facing health challenges. Our attorneys specialize in challenging these denials, fighting for the rights of individuals to receive the disability benefits they are entitled to under their insurance policies. By actively engaging with insurance providers and advocating for our clients, we contribute to a workplace culture that prioritizes the well-being of individuals facing health challenges.

Negotiating Fair Employment Contracts

The foundation of a positive employer-employee relationship often lies in the clarity and fairness of employment contracts. Our legal team at Lober & Dobson, LLC excels in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating employment contracts. By ensuring that these agreements are fair, transparent, and protective of our clients’ interests, we contribute to creating workplaces built on mutual respect and understanding.

Navigating the Maze of Restrictive Covenants

Restrictive covenants, such as non-compete agreements and confidentiality clauses, require careful consideration. Our attorneys offer guidance to clients, ensuring that these agreements are reasonable and enforceable. By navigating the intricacies of restrictive covenants, we contribute to creating employment contracts that balance the interests of both employers and employees.

Securing Fair Severance Packages

Negotiating fair severance packages is a critical aspect of employment transitions. Our attorneys bring a wealth of experience to severance pay negotiations, ensuring that our clients are well-represented in securing favorable terms. By advocating for fair and just severance agreements, we contribute to creating a workplace culture that recognizes and respects the contributions of departing employees.

Ensuring Health Insurance Continuity with COBRA

The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) is a lifeline for many individuals transitioning out of employment. Our attorneys assist clients in understanding their rights under COBRA, working diligently to address instances where employers fail to provide the required continuation coverage. By safeguarding access to essential healthcare benefits, we contribute to the well-being of individuals during periods of employment transition.
