What Do Employment Lawyers Do?   

Employment lawyers specialize in issues within the workforce. This can be anything from assault in the workplace to unlawful termination. Assault can mean several different things. The first is sexual assault, which is defined by unwanted sexual activity. This breaks down into different categories as well. The most recognized one is unwanted physical touch. This can be inappropriate touching or even gestures.

The second is verbal assault. This can be unwanted sexual talking, flirting, or bullying. It also extends to hearing sexual talk that is inappropriate to the workplace. Last is suggestive assault. This is when a boss or fellow employee implies that you need to grant sexual favors in order to advance in the workplace. All of these issues, if not resolved within the company, can be a reason for a lawsuit. Unlawful termination, on the other hand, is when your boss fires you without just cause. This does not count for ending contracts or documented warnings.

How Can They Help You?

Depending on your case, employment lawyers can help you get your job back. They can also help get you compensation from the job. This all depends on the details of your case. Some charges put the burden of proof on you, and other put the burden on the employer. For unlawful termination, for example, the employer will have to produce proper documents. For issues of assault, you will have more responsibility. This can be achieved with pictures of messages received or recordings of conversations. Before you take any of these steps, however, consult with a lawyer. They will be able to tell you if you even need such measures.
