Legal Representation for Employment Law Cases in South Carolina and Georgia
If you work under the terms of a contract, whether written or sometimes oral, the terms of this employment-at-will may be modified, and both you and your employer may have responsibilities under the terms of the contract. In some circumstances, an employee handbook can contain such obligations.
If you feel you are being treated differently or discriminated against because of your race, your sex, or your age, you may be protected by certain federal laws that prohibit this type of conduct. To obtain general information about these federal laws and what the time requirements are for filing claims regarding discrimination and the claim forms necessary to proceed, you should consult the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) website, www.eeoc.gov.
Additionally, the South Carolina Human Affairs Commission, which also investigates allegations of discrimination in the workplace, has information available about these types of claims and the requirements for pursuing such a cause of action available on their website, www.state.sc.us/schac.
