Many people suffer from unfair treatment at work. In Oregon, most people can be dismissed from their job at any time, without any reason or just cause. However, state and federal laws protect workers from some forms of discrimination and prohibit job termination in some circumstances. Employment law is complicated and a violation of the law may be difficult to prove. However, Oregon employment attorney Glenn Solomon has the experience and legal skills to fight for compensation in cases of illegal discrimination and other employment law claims. He provides experienced legal counsel for employees in the Portland metro area and throughout the state in employment claims including:

Discrimination claims and civil rights violations - If you have been terminated or denied employment based on age, race, sex, or religion, you may have a claim for damages caused by the discrimination. Attorney Solomon has successfully represented many older employees in age discrimination claims for violations under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA).

Executive severance agreements - Our employment lawyer reviews severance agreements and severance packages for Oregon executives who have been forced into retirement or unemployment by a reduction in force (RIF) or layoff.

Sexual harassment lawsuits - Attorney Solomon represents women and men who have been harmed by sexual harassment and sex discrimination in the workplace, which is prohibited by federal and state law. Sex discrimination can include firing female employees because of pregnancy. Sexual harassment can include demands for sexual favors, unwelcome sexual advances or remarks, and other conduct which affects or interferes with an employee's work performance, or creates a hostile, offensive work environment.

Family and Medical Leave Act - The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides protections for mothers and fathers, pregnant employees, and other working family members who need to take a leave for the birth or adoption of a child, to care for a sick family member, or because of their own serious health condition. If you have been denied FMLA leave, please contact our law office to discuss your situation with our employment attorney.

Wrongful termination and retaliatory discharge claims- We have experience helping employees who have been fired or terminated in violation of a union contract or government contract and those who were fired for asserting their rights or discharged in retaliation for filing a discrimination claim (retaliatory discharge claims). More information about wrongful discharge can be found at Wrongful Discharge: The Public Policy Exception to At Will Employment by Glenn Solomon.

Workers' compensation discrimination claims - Our law firm represents employees who have been fired or discriminated against because they filed workers' comp claims.

Whistleblower protection - We protect the rights and interests of employees who have reported illegal actions by employers.

Wage and hour claims - We represent employees in wage and hour disputes including disputes over job misclassification, overtime wages, being forced to work off the clock and exempt or non-exempt employee matters. More information about wage and hour claims can be found at Shaving Time by labor attorney Glenn Solomon.

Non-compete agreements - We assist employees in the negotiation, review, and interpretation of non-compete agreements, and represent employees in disputes regarding overly restrictive non-competition agreements and alleged violations of non-compete agreements.

Breach of employment contracts - Our law firm represents employees in claims against employers for breach of employment contracts, including employee handbooks and implied contracts and in good faith and fair dealing claims on behalf of sales associates and other employees.
