Is Your Employee Claiming Mistreatment?
Employees frequently attempt to thrust their employers into lawsuits by claiming a violation of their workplace rights. Some will claim failure to compensate for all the hours they work have worked, although overtime was never approved or being fired for a discriminatory reason when they were fired for continuously poor job performance. Facing a complaint from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) on your own can seem overwhelming.

When you need robust and steadfast representation, turn to the team at Carrier Law Group Our attorneys can answer your questions and provide the road map you need to get through myriad employee-related challenges.
