By law, you must be unable to work for seven days (including weekends and holidays) before you are eligible for temporary disability benefits. Benefits are retroactive to the first day.

Those benefits are due, if warranted, regardless of the number of lost workdays.

Compliance with standards may include ensuring that employees have and use personal protective equipment when required for safety or health. Employees must comply with all rules and regulations that apply to their own actions and conduct.

When employers subvert OSHA's requirements, personal injuries and substantial losses of income may result due to the negligence of the employer.

An Employment Lawyer can do many things for you, including:

  • File any and all claims or lawsuits pertaining to you and your case
  • Research all recent changes in Labor Laws pertaining to you and your case
  • Fight for you in court

Many employment laws (e.g., minimum wage regulations) were enacted as protective labor legislation. Other employment laws take the form of public insurance, such as unemployment compensation.

Employment law is a broad area that includes all areas of the employer/employee relationship except the negotiation process covered by labor law and collective bargaining.

Employment lawyers handle cases including:

  • Collective Bargaining
  • Employment Discrimination
  • Unemployment Compensation
  • Pensions
  • Workplace Safety
  • Worker's Compensation
