Labor & Employment Law, Civil Litigation

Employees as well as Employers have certain rights in the workplace. We offer comprehensive services in the Employment area whether you are the Employer or the Employee. Knowing your rights in the workplace is critical to successful employment for everyone!

Understanding your rights when you are an employee can be confusing! Most employees in Massachusetts are considered to be “at-will” employees. Even employees that are members of a Union may still be considered “at-will” employees. And some employees that have signed agreements with their employers may still be considered “at-will” employees. What does that mean? In Massachusetts, an employee that is an “at-will” employee can be hired or fired for any reason as long as that reason is not discriminatory. Not all adverse actions against employees are discriminatory and it is important to know the difference. We can help, if you think you have been a victim of discrimination in the work place call Mass Bay Law Associates, and speak to an Attorney that can help you.

Understanding your obligations when you are an employer can be difficult! In Massachusetts, there are certain requirements that an employer must follow, for example, paying over-time to employees. The laws are very specific and if the employer doesn’t know or follow the rules it can be very costly. Educating your staff and Management Team is critical when dealing with these issues.    At Mass Bay Law Associates, we offer a wide variety of services concerning Employment and Labor Issues including: Americans with Disabilities (ADA);  Contracts and Agreements for Employment; Collective Bargain Agreements (CBA); Discrimination in the work place; Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
