Guidance for Illinois Workplace Disputes

Employment issues can quickly cause stress for both the worker and the business owner. In Illinois, employment is “at-will,” but there are still limitations on employers making decisions for illegal reasons. Disputes can occur over discrimination, harassment, retaliation, unpaid wages, employment agreements, employee classification, workplace policies or wrongful termination. Usually, the first step in fixing the problem is to know what laws apply.

Legal Support for Employees & Employers

O’Flaherty Law advises employees who feel their workplace rights have been violated and businesses who need help preventing or responding to claims. We can examine employment contracts, pay records, workplace communications, personnel files and company policies to determine the key legal and factual issues. Our lawyers are committed to explaining your options in simple terms and developing a practical strategy to achieve your goals.

Protecting Your Career or Your Business in Des Plaines

Not all employment disputes have to end up in protracted litigation. Some matters can be resolved through internal discussions, settlement negotiations, administrative processes or well-crafted agreements. If court action is necessary, our attorneys can help you prepare and present your case. Acting fast may also help preserve emails, pay records, witness information, and other evidence that may prove important later.
