Sex & Gender Discrimination
Unfortunately, sex and gender discrimination is all too common, but it is also against the law. Find out how the law protects you at work and on the job. If you have not been hired, not received a promotion, or subjected to other adverse employment action such as termination, demotion, reduction in pay, or negative actions which materially impact you employment as a result of sex and gender discrimination, the expert workplace discrimination lawyers at Wenzel Fenton Cabassa, P.A., can provide aggressive representation for your case.
Pregnancy Discrimination
Pregnancy discrimination leaves you stressed when you should be feeling blessed. Unfortunately, it happens across industries and at all employment levels. Employment discrimination lawyers at Wenzel Fenton Cabassa, P.A. are highly knowledgeable about the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, which prohibits sex discrimination on the basis of pregnancy. Know your rights and make sure you are represented by Florida’s well-recognized employment and labor law attorneys.
Religious Discrimination
Are you being discriminated against for your religious beliefs or practices at work or by your employer based on the employer’s religious practices? Freedom of religion is a fundamental right in every workplace in the United States. Religious protections are broad, encompassing all areas of employment including hiring, wages, health insurance, etc. The dedicated discrimination attorneys at Wenzel Fenton Cabassa, P.A. tackle any workplace violation aggressively with you, and your family, in mind. Discover how you’re protected on the job.
Age Discrimination
Federal law prohibits most employers from discriminating against job applicants and employees on the basis of age. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) protects people 40 years of age and older from age-based discrimination. Florida law also specifically protects most employees from discrimination based on age (over 40). Have you been forced to retire because of your age? Have you been retaliated against because you filed an ADEA claim? We work with all aspects of Federal and Florida employment discrimination law and want to help you get your career back on track.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassers are increasingly being held accountable for their actions. This type of hostile work environment should not be tolerated. An employment discrimination lawyer will fight for your rights to a safe work environment and pursue justice to stop this illegal behavior and keep it from happening to anyone else. If you’ve been subjected to harassing behavior or retaliation due to reporting sexual harassment, contact Wenzel Fenton Cabassa, P.A. today.
Race Discrimination
Racial discrimination in the workplace is not only morally wrong, but it’s also against the law. If you suspect you have been wrongfully terminated or discriminated against, contact us now. Our discrimination lawyers serve Florida employees. We work with employees across Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, and Jacksonville. Employment lawyers conduct thorough investigations of your claim to determine if racial discrimination was the cause of the adverse employment action.
Disability Discrimination
The Americans with Disabilities Act protects the rights of disabled employees. If you believe that your employer is discriminating against you because of your disability, contact a discrimination lawyer in Florida for a confidential consultation. If you have a disability, it is your right to treated equally in the workplace. From job interviews to promotions and the right to reasonable accommodations, you are protected under the law from job discrimination in Florida.
Workplace Bullying Discrimination
Coping with workplace bullying can be difficult. Equally as challenging are the steps required to make it stop. Is your situation protected by State or Federal law? Call Wenzel Fenton Cabassa, P.A. today and find out where you stand with your case. Workplace bullying doesn’t always involve physical aggression. It can be subtle and psychological, and often takes the form of a manager applying extreme pressure on subordinates to achieve higher production. When this kind of behavior is based on a protected status (such as race, religion, age) or protected activity (such as whistleblowing, opposing unlawful conduct, raising objections to safety violations or wage-hour violations), it is inexcusable, illegal, and against the law.
