You Have Extremely Powerful Rights Under Federal Law!
That's right. Many powerful federal laws have been passed in recent years to protect the rights of workers just like you. Unfortunately, we all know that some employers take advantage of their workers and violate these laws both intentionally and unintentionally. Kahn & Associates protects and enforces the rights of victims of the following unlawful employment practices:
Wrongful Termination & Sexual Harassment
Under Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act it is illegal for an employer to discriminate in any aspect of employment, including the hiring or firing of an employee when the decision is due to the individual's race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age.
Discriminatory practices under these laws also include harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age.
Employers who have violated this law can be stopped and forced to reinstate you, as well as pay your unpaid back wages and attorney's fees and costs!
If you feel you have been discriminated against, speak to an attorney now at no cost or obligation by calling 1-888-536-6671 or by filling out our Quick Case Review Form above and one of our representatives will contact you immediately.
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) employers are required to pay "non-exempt" employees at least one and one-half (1½) times their regular rate of pay for hours worked in excess of forty (40) in a workweek.
Employers are also required to pay a minimum wage of not less than $5.85 per hour effective July 24, 2007; $6.55 per hour effective July 24, 2008; and $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009.
However, exempt employees are not subject to this law because they are not typically expected to work set hours. Exempt employees are most often found in managerial and supervisory positions. In many instances, employers either intentionally or unintentionally misclassify employees as "exempt" to avoid paying overtime. This can happen because the definition of exempt is far from clear and can be applied incorrectly even by a well-intentioned employer.
Employers who have not properly paid you overtime, or paid you less than the federal minimum wage, can be liable for double your unpaid back wages and your attorney's fees and costs!

Right to Temporary Leave From Work
Under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) an eligible employee is entitled to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for any of the following reasons:
- Childbirth - for the birth and care of a newborn child;
- Sick Loved One - to care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition; or
-
Serious Medical Condition - to take medical leave when the employee is unable to work
because of a serious health condition. -
Adoption or Foster Care - for placement with
the employee of a son or daughter for adoption or foster care;
Further, you must be restored to the same position upon return to work after this leave period or a position that is substantially equal in pay, benefits, and responsibility.
Employers who deny you this time, terminate you or have otherwise violated this law can be liable for double your lost wages and benefits (or any actual damages), plus interest, attorney's fees and costs!
