Harassment and discrimination are different. Harassment, or “hostile work environment,” involves behavior throughout the workplace that is outside of the norm and alters the workplace experience for the employee.

Employees who sign employment contracts for specified time periods with their employers have enforceable agreements with their employers that both they and their employers must honor. When a company breaches that employment contract regarding termination, employee discipline, job expectations, working conditions, or payment, the employee may have the right to enforce that contract in court.
Some employment contracts contain non-compete clauses. These are conditions that preclude employees from working for an employer’s competitors within a certain geographic region for a period of time after leaving a company’s employment.
A severance agreement is a contract where an employer gives a terminated employee a sum of money in exchange for giving up certain rights upon termination. Employees need to understand any rights or opportunities they are giving up under a severance agreement.
Severance agreements are not a legal requirement, and most employers have something to gain when offering an employee a severance agreement. Therefore, any severance package should be reviewed by an experienced employment law lawyer before acceptance.
EEOC cases require experienced employment law lawyers to mediate. These cases are difficult to value and can be lengthy disputes. Having skilled counsel can maximize any benefits received from an employer while minimizing the time spent in litigation.
