Most of us have to work to pay our bills, feed our families, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. When we face unfair treatment, discrimination or harassment at work, our work becomes a source of fear rather than a way to ensure our own livelihood. If you have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace, you will need experienced labour lawyers to protect your rights. If you have been the victim of an unlawful dismissal, you will need an unlawful dismissal lawyer to help you obtain full and fair compensation for your losses. You need the Davis Law Firm. Unlawful dismissal often occurs in retaliation after employees report sexual harassment, discrimination, inadequate compensation that violates pay and overtime laws, violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and “reasonable accommodation” under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The more experienced a lawyer is in legal practice, the more he/she will be able to bring a successful solution to your problem. Because experience is important, lawyers who have been practicing as lawyers for many years (with a successful track record) are usually in high demand. You should look for information about a lawyer`s experience and ask questions at the first meeting. It is a very good idea to ask the lawyer how many years he/she has worked as a lawyer and what the expected outcome of your case will be. Unlimited employment in Texas is a simple concept used by employers to fire employees. An employer in Texas can fire an employee “at will.” This means that the company doesn`t need a reason to fire an employee.

In fact, an employer can fire an employee for no reason, no good reason, or even for reasons that may not make much sense. Employees can certainly expect to receive one or more reasons why they may be fired, but a Texas employer is not required to give one. In addition, the employer is not required to have a “material reason” or a valid reason for dismissing an employee. The employer is not required to give notice of dismissal to the employee and may dismiss an employee with immediate effect. Therefore, an employer in Texas can generally fire an employee “at will,” with or without cause, and with or without notice. If you need help understanding the nuances of labor law, contact an illegal termination attorney in San Antonio today. For employees, the Texas-At-Will concept also allows the employee to end the employment relationship. The employee does not have to give notice or dismissal, but many employees believe it is professional and fair to give the employer a “two-week notice period.” There are certain situations in which an employee should consider separation or dismissal, especially if the employee had a good working relationship with the employer and the employer was good with the employee. However, there is no legal obligation for the employee to indicate a reason for dismissal or to announce a separation or dismissal. All-you-can-eat employment is a one-way street – the employer can dismiss the employee with or without notice or reason; and the employee may leave at any time, with or without notice or reason.

Employees have legal protection against dismissal “at will”. These safeguards result from laws created by the federal, state and judiciary, which provide employees with protection from “unlawful dismissal.” Were you fired for no reason? Do you have reason to believe that unlawful discrimination or reprisal was a key factor in your dismissal? If you`ve lost your job, it`s tempting to think the employer was wrong. An assessment of your case by an employment lawyer can help you determine if you are entitled to an unlawful finding or if you have the right to sue for unlawful dismissal. If you have a strong case, you may be entitled to compensation for subsequent salaries, reinstatement of your position and/or punitive damages. Contact us to find out how we can help you. Initial consultations with our labor lawyers in San Antonio are free of charge. In addition to federal and state laws in Texas that protect employees, Texas judges have also created protections for employees. For example, if an employee refuses to commit an illegal act on behalf of the employer and that illegal act results in a criminal sanction, if the employer uses that refusal as the sole ground for dismissing the employee, the employee has been wrongly dismissed. There are other protections for employees who are fired at will. If an employee has an employment contract, the contract may require certain conditions that occur before the employee is fired.

For example, the employment contract may provide that the employer informs the employee of work product or performance issues and gives the employee an opportunity to remedy these deficiencies before a dismissal can occur. Employment contracts may also require the employee to be disciplined gradually prior to termination of employment. Typical employees who may have an employment contract include doctors and executives. It is important that a board-certified labour and labour lawyer review each employment contract to ensure that the employee, physician or manager is not unlawfully dismissed or otherwise dismissed in violation of an employment contract. While Texas is an “all-you-can-eat” state that allows the employer or employee to terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason, there are a number of legally recognized protections under federal and state law of Texas and the law created by the courts that protect the employee from “unlawful termination.” “Unlawful dismissal” is an umbrella term. Whenever someone is fired, they can immediately feel like they have been “unfairly fired.” As a labor and employment attorney certified by the board of directors, illegal dismissal has a more specific meaning, based on laws that protect employees from dismissal. State and federal laws are designed to protect employees from demotion, discrimination, or termination because of protected characteristics and characteristics. For example, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and its amendments protect employees from termination of employment for the following reasons: At Davis Law Firm, we advocate for all types of labor matters on behalf of individuals.

Federal and state laws also protect against discrimination and retaliation. An employer cannot retaliate and downgrade or dismiss an employee because the employee may have complained of discrimination in the workplace. There are several protections in the state of Texas and federal law designed to protect employees from such discrimination, retaliation, and termination.
