Employment Law
Dib, Fagan and Brault, P.C. has represented victims of unlawful employment practices for almost 20 years. Although many employers in Michigan attempt to hide behind an “at-will” employment relationship to justify their actions, a complex set of laws, both state and federal, safeguard employees from:
- Discrimination on the basis of race, age, gender, disability, religion, and height and weight
- Sexual harassment
- Retaliation for reporting a violation of the law and other kinds of “whistleblowing”
- Termination or demotion while on a medical leave in violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act
- Retaliation for making a claim for benefits, including worker’s disability compensation benefits
- Termination for raising concerns regarding improper accounting practices within publicly traded companies, under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
Dib, Fagan and Brault, P.C. attorneys have experience navigating the complexities of employment relationships and the laws that create them. We represent employees in state and federal court. We also assist clients in matters before the Michigan Department of Civil Rights and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
