Common Labor Law Issues in Nevada

Understanding and addressing common labor law issues is essential to maintaining a fair and compliant workplace. At Greenberg Gross LLP, our experienced attorneys are well-versed in handling a variety of labor law matters. Here are some of the most prevalent issues we help our clients navigate:

Wage and Hour Disputes

Wage and hour disputes are among the most frequent labor law issues. These can include unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, improper classification of employees as exempt or non-exempt, and failure to provide meal and rest breaks. Under both the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Nevada state laws, employees are entitled to fair compensation for their work. Our attorneys can help ensure that you receive the wages you have earned.

Wrongful Termination

Nevada is an at-will employment state, meaning that employers can terminate employees for any reason except for illegal reasons under state and federal law. Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired for discriminatory reasons, retaliation, or violating an employment contract. If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated, our skilled attorneys can evaluate your case and fight for your rights.

Workplace Harassment and Discrimination

Workplace harassment and discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, national origin, or other protected characteristics are prohibited under various federal and state laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Nevada Equal Rights Commission (NERC) regulations. Our team at Greenberg Gross LLP is committed to helping victims of workplace discrimination and harassment seek justice and create a more inclusive work environment.

Family and Medical Leave

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons. Nevada employees may also be entitled to additional protections under state law. If your employer has denied your rightful leave or retaliated against you for taking it, we can help enforce your rights and secure the benefits you deserve.

Pregnancy Discrimination

In Nevada, pregnancy discrimination is a big labor law issue that affects many working women. Under federal law, through the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) and Nevada state law, it’s illegal for employers to discriminate against employees or job applicants because of pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions. This includes hiring refusals, wrongful terminations, demotions or unfavorable job assignments. Employers must also provide reasonable accommodations to pregnant employees, such as modified work duties, flexible schedules or medical leave, unless it would cause undue hardship to the business.

Employment Contracts and Non-Compete Agreements

Employment contracts, including non-compete agreements, must be carefully drafted and reviewed to ensure they are fair and enforceable. If you are facing issues related to contract disputes, non-compete clauses, or severance agreements, our attorneys can provide expert guidance and representation to protect your interests.

Workplace Safety and Health

Employee safety and health are paramount, and employers are required by law to provide a safe working environment. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets and enforces standards to ensure workplace safety. If you have been injured at work or believe your workplace conditions are unsafe, our attorneys can help you understand your rights and pursue appropriate actions against negligent employers.

Employment Benefits and Compensation

Employment benefits, including health insurance, retirement plans, and other fringe benefits, are essential components of compensation packages. Mismanagement or denial of these benefits can significantly impact an employee’s well-being. At Greenberg Gross LLP, we assist employees in disputes related to benefit entitlements and ensure that all compensation agreements are honored as per the law.

Whistleblower Protection

Employees who report illegal activities or violations within their organizations are often vulnerable to retaliation. Federal and state laws, including the Whistleblower Protection Act, provide protections for these individuals. If you have faced retaliation for whistleblowing, our experienced attorneys can help you secure protections and pursue claims against retaliatory actions.

Retaliation Claims

Retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse action against an employee for engaging in legally protected activities, such as reporting discrimination, filing a wage claim, or participating in an investigation. Retaliation is illegal under both federal and state laws. If you believe you are a victim of retaliation, our attorneys can help you build a strong case and seek appropriate remedies.

At Greenberg Gross LLP, we are dedicated to resolving these and other labor law issues with the highest level of professionalism and expertise. Our goal is to ensure that our clients receive fair treatment and justice in the workplace.
