Individual Employment

We represent individuals in work place disputes, primarily wage and hour violations, employment discrimination, civil rights and public policy torts. This includes cases filed under the state and federal minimum wage laws, family leave acts, anti-discrimination statutes, and the Washington and U.S. Constitution. In the Supreme Court we recently secured an employee's right to overtime for lunch and meal breaks in Washington State. We've also successfully challenged retaliatory discharge for protected speech, and expanded the protections of employees from sexual harassment in the workplace. We represent individual employees in severance negotiations as well as litigation, and assist employees in forming and dissolving employment relationships.
