THE EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS GROUP – Pittsburgh, PA

Leveling the Playing Field for Employees in Pennsylvania and Beyond

THE EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS GROUP, LLC, is a premier law firm based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, devoted entirely to protecting the employment rights of individuals. Since its founding in 1994, our firm has focused exclusively on assisting employees—from hourly workers to salaried managers and executives—in solving their employment-related problems. We understand the inherent imbalance of power between an individual employee and their employer. Our mission is to provide the knowledge and resources necessary to level that playing field, ensuring our clients can stand up for their rights and take full advantage of the remedies available to them under the law. We are committed to acting quickly and responsively, recognizing that our clients often need immediate answers and prompt resolutions.

A Full Range of Employee Advocacy

We believe in matching the solution to the problem, offering a strategic approach that ranges from simple consultation to aggressive federal litigation. We handle the full spectrum of individual cases as well as large-scale collective and class-action lawsuits.

Employment and Labor Lawyers

We are a powerful voice for employees who have been treated unfairly. Our extensive experience covers all aspects of employment law, including:

• Wrongful Termination Lawyers: Fighting for employees who have been illegally fired from their jobs.
• Workplace Discrimination Lawyers: Representing individuals who have faced discrimination based on race, age, sex, or disability.
• Harassment Lawyers: Taking action against employers for sexual harassment and other forms of hostile work environments.
• Wage and Hour Lawyers: Pursuing claims for unpaid overtime, bonuses, and commissions under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state laws.
• Leave and Benefit Disputes: Advocating for employees in matters related to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and employee benefits (ERISA).
• Whistleblower Claims: Protecting employees who have been retaliated against for reporting illegal activity.

No Cost to You Unless We Win

We understand that traditional legal representation is simply too expensive for most individuals. That is why we handle the vast majority of our cases on a contingent fee basis. We accept the risk and the costs associated with protecting your rights, which means you pay no out-of-pocket fees. Our firm invests what is necessary to bring your case to a successful conclusion. This approach allows you to pursue a legitimate claim without fear of being buried in legal costs by your employer.

Free and Confidential Consultation

Knowledge is power. The first step in taking effective action is to understand your problem and its legal implications. We offer a free and strictly confidential consultation, normally over the phone, to help you determine what employment rights are implicated and what strategies may be available.
