Workers’ Rights Law Group represents employees in discrimination, harassment, wage, accommodation, and related employment matters. Explore the issues that may relate to your situation.
Discrimination at work
Workplace discrimination
Being passed over, disciplined differently or pushed out can leave you questioning what happened. Workers’ Rights Law Group represents employees facing workplace discrimination. For people working in Pittsburgh and across Pennsylvania, a careful assessment starts with the employment decision, the reason given and the evidence connecting that decision to a legally protected characteristic.
Read the guidanceDisability and accommodations
Disability & accommodations
A denied accommodation, repeated questions about your health or discipline after medical leave can put your job at risk. Disability discrimination and accommodation claims require attention to your duties, your limitations and the employer’s response. Workers’ Rights Law Group helps employees understand how those facts fit together and what steps may be available.
Read the guidanceSexual harassment
Sexual harassment
Unwanted sexual conduct at work can affect your sense of safety, your income and your ability to stay in a job. Workers’ Rights Law Group represents employees facing sexual harassment. An assessment considers the conduct, its context, who was involved and what happened when the employer learned about the problem.
Read the guidanceUnpaid wages and overtime
Unpaid wages & overtime
Missing overtime, automatic lunch deductions and work done before clocking in can add up over time. Workers’ Rights Law Group represents employees in wage disputes. A wage assessment examines the work actually performed, the hours recorded, how pay was calculated and which federal or Pennsylvania protections apply to the employment relationship.
Read the guidanceRetaliation at work
Workplace retaliation
After you report discrimination, request an accommodation or raise a wage concern, a sudden change at work can feel connected. Retaliation claims examine that connection carefully. The key questions include what activity the law protects, who knew about it, what the employer did next and whether the evidence supports a retaliatory reason.
Read the guidanceJob loss and termination
Wrongful termination
Losing a job can create immediate pressure about income, benefits and the explanation you were given. Whether a termination is legally actionable depends on more than whether it feels unfair. An assessment looks at Pennsylvania’s employment rules, the events leading to the decision and any protection or agreement that may apply.
Read the guidanceFamily and medical leave
FMLA & medical leave
A serious health condition or family need can become more difficult when your job is uncertain. FMLA questions often turn on eligibility, the information given to the employer and how leave was handled. A careful assessment considers leave rights alongside disability accommodations, pregnancy protections and any discipline or termination that followed.
Read the guidancePregnancy at work
Pregnancy & accommodations
A reduced schedule, denied promotion or refused workplace adjustment during pregnancy can raise different legal questions. Pregnancy discrimination and pregnancy accommodation protections overlap, but they are not identical. An assessment considers the employment decision, the adjustment needed and how your employer responded before, during or after pregnancy and childbirth.
