The law says that extra wages must be paid for these hours in certain circumstances, and when employers refuse to pay overtime wages, the employees' rights may be violated.

Harassment
The law prohibits against unwanted and unnecessary conduct toward employees on the basis of beliefs, characteristics, or background. When harassment becomes unlawful, the employee should seek legal counsel to protect their rights and end the illegal treatment. Learn more about harassment.
Sexual Harassment
At Crary Buchanan, we believe that everyone should feel safe at work. Your work environment should be free of hazards, hostility and harassment. Today, sexual harassment is a common problem in the American workforce. What is sexual harassment? Generally speaking, any language or actions that are sexually suggestive or demeaning are considered harassment. Such actions should be taken very seriously and merit legal action.
Wrongful Termination
If you employer fires you as a form of sexual harassment or discrimination, your job may have been wrongfully terminated. Wrongful termination refers to a variety of situations in which you employer terminates your job without a good reason or for a wrong reason. If you have been wrongfully terminated, you might want to consider pursuing a severance package. Sometimes, employers offer terminated employees favorable severance packages if the employee agrees to not take legal action.
