New York’s at-will employment laws do not give an employer the right to step on your rights or to discriminate against you. It is important that you know that you are protected even in an at-will employment state. If you feel you have been wrongfully terminated or have faced discrimination in the workplace, contact Levine & Blit today.
Federal and state laws protect workers from unlawful discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, genetic information, and other characteristics of individuals. Employment discrimination can take a number of forms; it’s best to discuss the issue with someone knowledgeable about discrimination law before proceeding with a claim.
At Levine & Blit, we know the ins and outs of New York employment law and applicable federal laws. We help clients understand their legal options for addressing problems they face in the workplace. Our lawyers work hard to give our clients the personalized attention they deserve while providing a sound legal strategy and robust representation in their cases.
