Employment Lawyers in Oklahoma City
Helping Employees & Employers Navigate Labor Laws in Oklahoma
Employment law is a large legal practice area that involves how the employer-employee relationship is conducted in the workplace. This legal field includes local, state, and federal laws that establish the rights and obligations of both employees and employers.
Why Does OK Have Employment Laws?
The general purpose of labor law is to provide fair and safe working conditions in the workplace and to give every qualified person equal opportunity to obtain employment. Various state and federal agencies have been established to oversee and enforce these laws, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and others. These laws cover many issues relevant to this relationship of employees and employers, such as:
- Discrimination and harassment in the workplace.
- Retirement plans and benefits.
- Wages.
- Occupational safety.
Oklahoma Discrimination Law
Employees are protected by Oklahoma's Anti-Discrimination Act (OK Stat. Tit. 25 Sec. 1301 et seq.). This law prohibits employers from engaging in any hiring practices or work practices that discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, color, genetic information.
If you believe you have experienced this violation in the workplace it is imperative that you call an attorney who is experienced in employment law immediately.
