Employment Law

Even though our society has made great progress in terms of equality, discrimination still frequently occurs in the workplace.  When an employee is discriminated against because of race, gender, age, color, national origin, religion or disability, it is a violation of both state and federal laws.   If you have been the victim of employment discrimination, contact (link to contact us page) Kelly, Kelly & Allman, Attorneys at Law, at (615) 824-3703 or (888) 824-3400.  You are protected under employment law and have certain legal rights.

Every year, thousands of employees are the victims of discrimination.  In 2007, there were 82,792 discrimination charges in the United States, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).  Among those charges, race discrimination was the most prevalent.

Tennessee is considered an employment-at-will state, which means that an employee can be fired for any reason, except on the basis of race, gender, age, color, national origin, religion or disability.  Several laws exist to protect employees in the workplace, including the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and various other federal and state statutes.  These laws govern how employers are to treat employees, former employees and applicants for employment.
