FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTION

You ask? We answer

Being fired for an illegal reason — discrimination (race, gender, age, disability), retaliation for reporting misconduct, or violation of an employment contract. Most U.S. states are "at-will," so an employer can fire you for almost any legal reason, but not an illegal one.

es — under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), most hourly employees are entitled to overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a week. If your employer misclassified you or simply didn't pay, an employment attorney can help recover back wages.

Repeated, severe conduct — harassment, discrimination, or intimidation — that makes it difficult to do your job and is based on a protected characteristic (race, sex, religion, disability, etc.). A single rude comment usually doesn't meet the legal bar; a pattern of conduct typically does.

Federal discrimination claims generally must be filed with the EEOC within 180–300 days of the incident, depending on your state. Waiting too long can bar you from pursuing the claim, so it's worth talking to an attorney as soon as an issue arises.

Employees have taxes withheld, receive benefits, and work under the employer's control (schedule, tools, methods); contractors operate mo re independently and are responsible for their own taxes. Misclassification is a common legal issue, since it affects overtime right s, benefits, and liability.

In most states, yes — employment is "at-will" unless you have a contract stating otherwise. The exception is if the firing is based on discrimination, retaliation, or violates a specific law or agreement.

When an employer punishes an employee — through firing, demotion, or harassment — for engaging in a legally protected activity, like reporting discrimination, filing a workers' comp claim, or whistleblowing. Retaliation claims are among the most common employment law cases.

It's not legally required, but strongly recommended — an attorney can help you document evidence properly, navigate the EEOC filing process, and negotiate or litigate for a fair outcome. LawCo can connect you with an employment attorney to evaluate your situation.

The Family and Medical Leave Act allows eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for medical or family reasons. Eligibility generally requires working for a covered employer for at least 12 months and 1,250 hours in the prior year.
