New York Employment Law Attorney
Have you been sexually harassed at work?
Are you a victim of wrongful termination?
People who are treated unfairly at work should get legal advice as soon as possible. The sooner you seek legal advice, the more your lawyer can do to protect your interests. Contact De Leon and Associates today.
In New York, employment is at-will. This means you can be terminated without cause and for almost any reason. However, you can't be terminated for filing a sexual harassment complaint, for filing a workers' compensation claim, or for complaining about illegal discrimination or a violation of law. If you are a union employee or have an employment contract, you also have rights that protect you from wrongful termination.
