Defending Employee Rights: Discrimination, Harassment, and Wrongful Termination

Every employee deserves to work in an environment free from unlawful bias and abuse. Federal and state regulations, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Florida Civil Rights Act (FCRA), strictly prohibit adverse employment actions based on protected characteristics. Gallup Auerbach provides robust representation for individuals who have been subjected to workplace discrimination or retaliatory measures. The firm handles complex claims involving age, race, gender, national origin, religion, pregnancy, and disability discrimination.

Additionally, they represent victims of sexual harassment and whistleblowers who have been retaliated against for reporting illegal corporate practices. If you have been unlawfully discharged, the firm's wrongful termination legal team will conduct a thorough investigation to hold your employer accountable and seek maximum recovery for lost wages, emotional distress, and other damages.

Recovering Earned Wages: Wage and Hour Violations

Wage theft remains a prevalent issue across many industries, often leaving hardworking individuals without the compensation they have legally earned. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), most employees are entitled to receive at least the minimum wage and overtime pay at a rate of one and a half times their regular hourly pay for all hours worked over forty in a single workweek. Many employers attempt to evade these requirements by misclassifying employees as exempt salaried managers or independent contractors.

Gallup Auerbach specializes in investigating and litigating wage and hour claims. From unpaid overtime and off-the-clock work to unlawful tip-pooling practices and unpaid minimum wage, they represent workers in seeking back wages, liquidated damages, and attorney's fees. They also assist corporate clients in auditing their pay practices to ensure strict compliance with FLSA standards, preventing costly class-action lawsuits.

Contract Negotiations and Denied ERISA Disability Claims

Beyond traditional litigation, Gallup Auerbach excels in negotiating complex employment contracts, non-compete agreements, and severance packages. For executives and high-level professionals, they review and draft agreements designed to protect intellectual property, clarify compensation structures, and negotiate favorable exit terms. Additionally, the firm stands as a key advocate for individuals struggling with delayed or denied long-term disability claims governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). They guide clients through the rigorous administrative appeal process, taking on powerful insurance companies to secure the benefits workers are rightfully owed.
