Employees
Wrongful termination is a hotly litigated topic in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and the rest of the country. Giampolo Law Group represents clients who were wrongfully terminated for reasons including refusing to commit a crime, applying for workman’s compensation, filing a claim under the Wage Payment and Collection Law, and for reporting health or safety hazards they were legally obligated to report. GLG also represents employees who were discriminated against based on age, sex, race, religion, retaliation, HIV status, sexual orientation, or gender identity. If you feel you have been a victim of discrimination, harassment, workplace retaliation or wrongful termination please contact our employment law attorneys serving the gay and LGBTQ+ communities in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
In Pennsylvania, employers are allowed to hire and fire employees “at will” —employees can be fired without reason and at any time. However, there are limits to the at-will doctrine, and GLG will make sure that you are compensated for wrongful termination.
At GLG, our gay friendly employment law lawyers also expertly draft and review employee contracts—including non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality agreements—and severance agreements. If you are considering signing an employment agreement, the best thing you can do is to have it reviewed by an experienced attorney.
Our mission is to guide our clients through practical action to resolve their claims without resorting to a lawsuit and to represent them strongly in court when a lawsuit is warranted.
