South Central Pennsylvania Employment Law Lawyers
When you face an employment dispute, either as an employee or as an employer, it is crucial that your rights are aggressively and effectively protected. At the Law Offices of Peter J. Russo, P.C., attorneys Peter Russo and Elizabeth Saylor have provided employment-related legal services to workers and businesses in the Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, area for a combined two decades.
We handle a broad range of employment matters and are skilled in resolving disputes both in and out of court. Our practice areas include:
- Wrongful termination claims — We represent both employers and employees in wrongful termination claims. Because Pennsylvania is an employment-at-will state, employers have broad legal protections regarding terminating employees with or without "cause." However, employers are barred from firing employees due to discrimination, because employees filed an employment law lawsuit or because employees refused to engage in quid pro quo sexual harassment. If you face a wrongful termination lawsuit, either as an employer or as an employee, we can provide immediate legal counsel regarding your rights, and can represent you in negotiations and litigation.
- Unemployment Compensation claims — While we represent both employers and employees in unemployment compensation claims, most claims of this type are filed by employees. Has your employer contested your right to receive unemployment benefits, or has the Office of Employment Security denied your claim? We can provide experienced, hands-on legal help.
- Employment Discrimination claims — In Pennsylvania, discrimination based on disability, gender, creed, color, national origin and sexual preference is illegal. If your employer has terminated you, refused to promote you or created or tolerated a hostile work environment, we can provide effective legal help.
