WHY PACHTMAN LAW OFFICE SHOULD
BE YOUR EMPLOYMENT LAW ATTORNEYS

DISCRIMINATION IS NOT ONLY WRONG, IT’S ILLEGAL


Were you illegally discriminated against in the workplace? As much as we hear in the news that employers are forced to be "politically correct", illegal discrimination still happens every day. Discrimination happens in all types of businesses and non-profit organizations, and even in government agencies that write and enforce the law.

Pennsylvania, like many states, is an "at will" state. This means that an employer can fire you for any reason, or no reason at all.

In the past, employers used the law to get rid of workers for reasons other than job performance. Some employers have even changed official company policy to exclude just those workers they want to eliminate, including those who have been loyal to the company for years. Sounds outrageous, doesn't it? It’s also illegal.

Although Pennsylvania is an at will state there are both state and federal laws that protect you from being fired based on race, sex, religion, national origin, gender, pregnancy, disability and age. In addition, most state and federal employment laws prohibit employers from disciplining or discharging you if you attempt to enforce your rights under the law.

Despite these laws, discrimination and retaliation still occurs. People are routinely fired for illegal reasons. We fight for these people everyday. We fight to get them reinstated, to get them back pay that they lost, and to get them future pay and punitive damages in appropriate cases.

In addition, if your employer illegally challenges your unemployment compensation when you have been laid off or fired we will make sure you get what’s coming to you.

Call Marc Pachtman, Esq. toll free at 866-86-TOUGH (866-868-6844) now to discuss your problem.

Because the law limits the time you have to file with governmental agencies after you’ve been discriminated against, please call us as soon as possible so you do not lose your right to pursue a claim.

The initial phone consultation is always free, and many cases are handled on a contingent fee basis where we don't get paid until you do.
