Employment law is the branch of law covering all areas of the employer/employee relationship apart from the negotiation process that is typically covered by labor law and collective bargaining. There are thousands of Federal and state statutes, administrative regulations, and judicial decisions comprising employment law. The Employment Law practice group has extensive experience in the field and has helped employers and employees across Florida in cases involving compensation, benefits, professional standing, and wrongful termination. The Firm's litigation attorneys have handled numerous employment law cases, as well as complaints with appropriate government agencies, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Florida Department of Labor, and the Florida Commission on Human Relations. We take pride in protecting the rights of Florida employees and employers. Our attorneys have extensive experience in representing clients in connection with:
- • Sexual harassment
- • Overtime and wage disputes
- • Employment discrimination based upon race, gender, age, religion, and disability
- • Whistleblower claims
- • Retaliatory actions
- • FMLA leave
Tobin, Reyes, Alvarez & De Biase attorneys also provide legal advice and representation to employers and employees prior to litigation to achieve effective, efficient and valuable resolutions to problems. Our Firm also counsels clients prior to termination and can assist with the negotiation of separation agreements and attendant severance packages. Many issues involving breach of employee/employer relations are time-sensitive due to statutes of limitation; therefore, it is highly recommended that you consult with our Employment Litigation Attorneys as soon as an issue arises.
