Common types of employment law cases and issues
Sexual harassment – Sexual harassment in the workplace is one of the most common types of employment law issues. Sexual harassment can vary and in some cases, it can also involve serious criminal offenses such as sexual assault or rape. Lewd comments, unwelcome sexual advances, sexually provocative electronic communication, etc. all constitute sexual harassment.
One of the biggest problems or issues when it comes to sexual harassment in the workplace is the fact that victims are often hesitant to speak up against the abuse or ring the alarm bells. This is because they are afraid that they may lose their jobs or be retaliated against in some other undesirable manner if they report the harassment.
Retaliation – Retaliation is considered a violation of employment laws and rights in Indiana. If your employer, a superior, or any other colleague treats you unfairly and discriminates against you for something that you reported or brought out into the open, then they can be sued for such retaliation.
Discrimination – Discriminating against an employee because of factors such as race, age, religious beliefs, political affiliation, cultural background, nationality, gender, and so forth is illegal in the workplace and outside of it. If you believe that you are being judged on such factors rather than the quality of your work then you might want to seek legal counsel.
Wage and pay claims – Being paid less than the stipulated hourly minimum wage, being forced to work overtime without pay, and so on all qualify as wage and pay claims. These are against both state and federal wage laws.
