Employment Law

Employment law covers a complex network of laws that controls how employers must treat employees, former employees, and applicants for employment. The attorneys of the Dworken & Bernstein Co., L.P.A., Employment Law Practice Group is a plaintiff’s law firm with significant experience in interpreting and construing state and Federal statutes and case law in areas such as employment discrimination (race, sex, age, handicap, natural origin, religion), affirmative action, sexual harassment, equal pay, pregnancy discrimination, employee benefits, pension and profit sharing benefits, whistleblower litigation, wrongful discharge, FMLA, and employment contracts.

We successfully have handled cases involving the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), Title VII, the Equal Pay Act, the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN), the Federal Employer's Liability Act (FELA), the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and special laws governing municipal employment.
