Types of Employment Law Cases We Handle in South Carolina
The Noble Law handles a wide range of employment law matters, including:
Workplace & Sexual Harassment
Workplace harassment is unlawful when it consists of unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic, such as race, color, pregnancy, sex, religion, national origin, age, or disability. It can take many forms, from verbal insults to physical assault.
Sexual harassment, for example, is unwanted comments, propositions, communication, and contact of a sexual nature.
We represent clients who have experienced harassment or discrimination in the workplace. You don’t have to endure this unacceptable treatment to keep your job. The law in South Carolina is on your side, and so are we.
Pay, Overtime, and Leave Disputes
Our team can clarify your rights regarding vacation time, maternity leave, bonuses, and other matters, and represent you in any legal action necessary to get the compensation and benefits that are rightfully due to you.
Under the North Carolina Wage and Hour Act (NCWHA), employees are entitled to compensation for every hour of employment. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Certain “non-exempt” employees receive overtime for working more than 40 hours per week. Missed payments or underpaying are considered wage theft.
Wrongful Termination Cases
South Carolina is an employment at-will state which means employees can be terminated any time, for any reason—if that reason is not discriminatory or retaliatory.
You cannot be fired for certain discriminatory reasons, or for exercising your right to file a discrimination harassment complaint, as well as other protected activity.
If you suspect your termination was illegal, we can assess your case and determine if your employer broke the law. If so, our firm has the experience and knowledge to pursue your legal rights and obtain the damages to which you are rightfully entitled.
Retaliation & Whistleblower Claims
State and federal laws protect employees who report some forms of abuse, theft, fraud, and other illegal activities.
If you were demoted, fired, or harassed because you spoke out, we will assess your situation to determine if your conduct is protected whistleblower activity. If it is, and if your employer retaliated against you for engaging in that activity, our firm is ready to fight on your behalf.
Why Do I Need an Employment Lawyer?
Wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, and other unlawful actions can be devastating for employees. But many victims hold back from seeking justice because they worry about retaliation or fear they won’t be believed.
In some cases, employees are simply unaware of their rights. Without the guidance of an attorney, they may continue to be victimized by unfair wage practices, discrimination, and other unethical and unlawful treatment.
The Noble Law employment lawyers educate clients on these protections and explain their legal options so they can make informed decisions about their situation. If you decide to move forward with a claim with representation by our firm, we oversee every aspect of your case to help mitigate any further stress or disruption to your life.
