    Employment Cases

    Promoting Justice in the Workplace

    At Novo Legal Group, we are dedicated to protecting your rights in the workplace. Employment discrimination, wage violations, and wrongful terminations are serious issues that can affect your livelihood and well-being. Our experienced legal team is committed to standing up for employees who have been treated unfairly. We specialize in various areas of employment law to ensure that every worker receives the justice they deserve. Whether you have been denied fair wages, faced discrimination, or experienced retaliation, we are here to fight for your rights and help you achieve the best possible outcome.

    Wage and Hour Violations

    Ensuring fair compensation and working conditions is a fundamental right for every employee. At Novo Legal Group, we are dedicated to fighting against wage and hour violations that undermine your hard work and dedication. Our experienced legal team is here to help you navigate complex employment laws such as: 

    • Non-payment of Wages: Employees have the right to be paid for all hours worked for the benefit of their employer. If your employer has failed to pay you the wages you are owed, it is a violation of your rights under state and federal law.
    • Non-payment of Overtime: For most employers, increased wages must be paid for all time worked over 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week.
    • No Meal or Rest Breaks: Employers are legally required to provide meal and rest breaks to their employees. If you have been denied these breaks, you may be entitled to additional compensation.

      At Novo Legal Group, we are committed to protecting your rights and ensuring fair treatment in the workplace. Whether you need to recover unpaid wages, claim rightful earnings for overtime, or secure compensation for denied breaks, our dedicated team is here to help.

    Discrimination and Harassment

    Discrimination and harassment in the workplace are serious issues that can create a hostile and unfair work environment. At Novo Legal Group, we are dedicated to fighting for your rights and ensuring that all employees are treated with dignity and respect. Our experienced legal team is here to support you and take action against discriminatory practices, such as: 

    • Race Discrimination: No one should face discrimination because of their race. If you have experienced unfair treatment, harassment, or any form of discrimination based on race, our team is here to advocate for you.
    • Gender Discrimination: Gender discrimination can take many forms, from unequal pay to biased hiring practices.
    • Age Discrimination: Age should never be a barrier to employment opportunities or fair treatment at work.
    • Disability Discrimination: Individuals with disabilities are entitled to equal treatment and reasonable accommodations in the workplace.
    • Failure to Accommodate a Disability: Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities.
    • Other Protected Status: Discrimination based on any other protected status, such as religion, sexual orientation, or national origin, is unacceptable.
    • Retaliation: Retaliation for reporting discrimination or harassment is illegal.

    Discrimination is unacceptable in all forms. Whether you have faced race, gender, age, or disability discrimination, or if your employer has failed to provide reasonable accommodations, our team is here to support you.

    Unlawful Termination

    Losing a job under unlawful circumstances can be a devastating experience. At Novo Legal Group, we are committed to helping you understand your rights and taking action against wrongful, retaliatory, or discriminatory termination. 

    • Wrongful Termination: If you have been terminated from your job for reasons that violate your employment contract or public policy, it may be considered wrongful termination. 
    • Retaliatory Termination: Being fired in retaliation for exercising your legal rights, such as reporting workplace violations or discrimination, is illegal. 
    • Discriminatory Termination: Termination based on discrimination due to race, gender, age, disability, or any other protected status is unlawful.

    At Novo Legal Group, we are dedicated to defending employees against unlawful termination. Whether you have experienced wrongful, retaliatory, or discriminatory termination, our committed legal team is here to support you.
