Morelli Law Firm Represents Workers in Employment Discrimination Cases

You and other workers should feel safe and accepted in the workplace each day. However, this is not always the case. For this reason, Morelli Law Firm handles all types of civil litigation cases involving employment discrimination and other unfair labor practices. This includes:

Race, Color, or National Origin Discrimination

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits a company from refusing to employ someone based on their race, color, or national origin. Furthermore, a company is not allowed to limit, segregate, or classify employees in a way that would deprive them of employment opportunities because of these factors.

Sexual Discrimination

Under the Equal Pay Act of 1963, employers may not discriminate based on sex. Companies must employ and pay all employees equally for performing the same work. This includes hiring, firing, promoting, job classification, benefits, and training opportunities. All people of both genders must have equal opportunities in all areas of employment.

Age Discrimination

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Age Discrimination Employment Act of 1967 protects employees over the age of 40 from being discriminated against in the workplace. Companies may not refuse to hire, offer different compensation, segregate, or classify an employee based on their age.

Disability Discrimination

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Title I and V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals due to a disability. Employers may not deny benefits, aid, or opportunities for advancement based on these qualities. In addition, they may not impose eligibility criteria that automatically exclude those with disabilities.

Religious Discrimination

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits companies from discriminating against job applicants or employees based on their religion. An employer may not harass a worker or deny employment opportunities based on their church affiliation, cultural traits, group perception, or association.

If you believe you were the victim of discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, or religious affiliation, you may be able to sue your employer and pursue compensation for your damages.

We Can Help You with Employer Retaliation

Another form of employment discrimination is employer retaliation. This occurs when an employer retaliates against an employee, sometimes because they filed another type of employment complaint or discrimination claim. Examples of retaliation could include:

  • Changing an employee’s job assignments
  • Changing their benefits
  • Denying a promotion
  • Harassing the employee
  • Demoting the employee
  • Terminating their job

While retaliation may not fit into a classic discrimination scenario for many people, it is a form of employer bias that can lead to harmful action against the employee. If your employer unfairly and illegally retaliated against something you did or said, they may have violated discrimination laws. You may be able to hold them responsible.

We work with clients in employment law cases that include:

  • Unfair labor claims
  • Whistleblowers
  • Harassment claims
  • Discrimination claims
  • Penalties for joining a union
  • Refusal of due benefits

What Are the Outcomes of Retaliation or Discrimination?

Sometimes it can be challenging to recognize when you are the victim of employment discrimination. It can lead to many different issues at work. We represent clients who suffered discriminatory acts and endured:

  • Wrongful termination
  • Unfair labor practices
  • Retaliation
  • Unequal pay
  • Defamation of character
  • Denial of employment

If you have questions about whether you may have been the victim of employment discrimination in New Rochelle, or if you live in Westchester County, but your employer is in the City, let us know. We will discuss your case with you for free and explain your rights. We can generally discover if retaliation or discrimination occurred during this initial consultation.

Misclassified Workers

We also help clients whose employers misclassified them as contract employees or as exempt employees. We can determine if this happened to you. If so, we may be able to recover compensation for you that includes:

  • Lost pay
  • Insurance coverage
  • Retirement benefits
  • Other income and benefits

Employers may misclassify workers to avoid paying for health insurance, offering retirement and other benefits, paying overtime, and pinching pennies in other ways. This is not just about protecting the company’s bottom line; this is illegal.

If you believe your employer has misclassified and underpaid you, we are here to discuss your options. We may be able to document your misclassification and take action on your behalf.

Let Morelli Law Firm Handle Your Employment Discrimination Claim

If you decide to move forward with your employment discrimination claim, we encourage you to connect with our team as soon as possible. You do not want to begin this process without representation.

We will also help you with your case in the following ways:

Investigate Your Claim

Our attorneys can conduct a thorough investigation into your claim. We can look at documents, speak with witnesses, explore any past instances of employer discrimination, and review all possible reasons why you were denied employment opportunities.

Engage with All Involved Parties on Your Behalf

Once you file an employment discrimination case, you may need to limit contact with your employer or be very careful about what you say and do. Our law firm can engage with all relevant parties, lawyers, agencies, and witnesses on your behalf. We advocate for you to help you win your case.

Negotiate a Settlement with Your Employer

We often attempt to work out a settlement with the employer or their insurance company. Our goal is to get you the compensation you deserve based on your damages. We work to get you a favorable outcome, including the promotion, missed income, or other benefits according to your particular situation.

File a Lawsuit

If your employer denies wrongdoing or refuses to settle, we will file a lawsuit and take your case to court. We can represent you as we present your case before a judge or jury.
