Common Employment Law Issues We Handle

  • Wrongful Termination – Being fired for an illegal reason is wrongful termination. This includes termination in retaliation for protected activity (such as reporting harassment or taking FMLA leave) or because of a protected characteristic like age, race, sex, pregnancy, disability, religion, or national origin. If you believe your firing violated Minnesota or federal law, we can help evaluate your case.
  • Retaliation and Reprisal – Minnesota law prohibits employers from punishing employees who assert their legal rights. If you filed a complaint, reported safety violations, opposed discrimination, or participated in an investigation and then faced negative consequences at work, you may have a retaliation claim under the Minnesota Human Rights Act or federal law.
  • Discrimination – It is illegal to treat employees unfairly based on protected characteristics including race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), age, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, or familial status. Discrimination can take many forms, from hiring and firing decisions to unequal pay, denied promotions, or hostile treatment.
  • Sexual Harassment – Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that creates a hostile work environment or affects employment decisions is illegal under Minnesota and federal law. Whether it's quid pro quo harassment or a pattern of offensive behavior, you have the right to a workplace free from sexual harassment.
  • Disability Discrimination and Accommodation – Employers must provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities and cannot terminate or refuse to hire someone simply because they have a disability. We help clients who have been denied necessary accommodations or discriminated against due to physical or mental health conditions.
  • Medical and Family Leave – Minnesota and federal law protect employees who need time off for serious health conditions or family reasons. If you were fired or penalized for taking FMLA leave, parental leave, or medical leave, that may be illegal retaliation.
