What types of employment cases does Davis & Young handle?
Our Employment Practice Group provides friendly and specialized counsel to individuals involved in employment-related cases, including but not limited to, the following:

WORKPLACE SEXUAL HARASSMENT
WRONGFUL TERMINATION OR DEMOTION
Under federal law, employers cannot discriminate on the basis of a variety of factors. Below are some examples.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination in employment based on the following:
• Race
• Color
• National Origin
• Religion
• Sex
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and Ohio’s anti-discrimination law prohibit discrimination based on age. It is not against the law to discriminate against someone because they are under the age of 40; but firing an employee solely because they are over the age of 40 is illegal.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits an employer from treating individuals differently in employment because of their disability, perceived disability, or association with an individual.
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) prohibits an employer from discriminating against an employee because of pregnancy, which may include the right to take time off work, in some cases. The Ohio’s Civil Rights Act provides unpaid pregnancy leave and the FMLA provides pregnancy and parenting leave.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT NEGOTIATION
An employment contract is a written legal document that lays out binding terms and conditions of an employment relationship between an employee and an employer. Our attorneys can help:
• negotiate the terms of an employment contract;
• determine whether an employer has breached the terms of an employment contract;
• discuss potential remedies available to an employee when an employer breaches an employment contract.
