Federal Employment Law

A Federal Employment Law Attorney for Kansas

The federal government has adopted numerous laws to protect employees, including the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Age Discrmination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Family Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, OSHA and more.

The complex net of laws that provide employee rights falls under the category of federal employment law.  The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) creates the right for leave for personal or family illness and for the birth or adoption of a child.  The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes a minimum wage and guarantees overtime when an employee works over 40 hours a week.  The ADA prohibits discrimination against disabled employees and requires employers to accommodate their needs.  The ADEA protects older workers from discrimination.  Title VII  prohibits discrimination on the basis race, national origina, gender and religion. All of these laws create rights in employees when an employer violates those rights.

A competent employment attorney knows which laws apply to your individual situation and the best way to fight for your rights.  Sometimes this means filing a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, othertimes it means going to state or federal court. Employee rights lawyer Michael M.
