Atlanta Employment Lawyers
Employees are protected from unfair employment practices by several relevant laws. Employment law, also known as labor law, deals with workplace rights and responsibilities for both employees and employers.
The United States Department of Labor administers and enforces nearly 200 federal laws. State laws are specifically administered by the state governments. These laws cover all aspects of the employer/employee relationship(except the negotiation process covered under the labor law and collective bargaining). Employment law covers a very wide range of issues from the job hunt and initial contract to privacy and e-mail policies, taxes, immigration, working hours, wages, legal rights, security issues, leaves, benefits, discrimination and harassment, health and safety and separation. Also, employers have to adhere to several rules and laws.
Employment law is very complex and is continuously changing. Hence, it is better to consult a specialist or a legal advisor before considering legal action in the area of employment law.
Whether it is the employee or the employer, a legal attorney who has specialized in employment law could aptly represent any case relating to employer-employee disputes. Many claims relating to employment law have time limits or deadlines known as "statutes of limitations". Therefore, it is better to file a claim as soon as possible.
From the employer's side, most claims are handled by legal experts in their Human Resources department. Companies also outsource a few claims to external lawyers. From the employee's side, it is very important to choose a good employment lawyer to represent a case against an employer. There are various issues to be considered when selecting an employment lawyer. These include cost, time involved, other alternatives like arbitration or mediation, the extent of involvement required by the person, etc.
Atlanta employment lawyers can be found through a referral service provided by Georgia State Bar Association, the county bar association and other professional law associations. Information is also available in the yellow pages or through search engines like Google and Yahoo on the Internet. You can check advertisements of law firms in magazines and newspapers. Friends and family members are other sources of information, and so are co-workers.
Atlanta Lawyers provides detailed information about Atlanta lawyers, Atlanta bankruptcy lawyers, Atlanta business lawyers, and more. Atlanta Lawyers is affiliated with Legal Malpractice.

What Is a Labor Law Poster?
We have all seen Labor Law posters in our break rooms or bathrooms. These are usually about 3ft x 2ft poster. Have you ever read what it actually says on it? Do you know why is it so important for every business to have it posted?
Well, here are some important points about the requirements of Labor Law postings. Lets start with where do they come from and who mandates them. OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration ) requires every business in the United States, that has employees, to post employee rights in a conspicuous place. Some rights are mandated by Federal law, and others by State law. Every state is required to post Federal employee regulations.
You DO NOT need to post employee regulations ONLY if:
1. you have no employees
2. you have only contract employees or volunteers
3. your business is family owned.
There are 9 required Federal postings.
Some of them are:
-Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law
-Federal Minimum Wage 2009
-Employment and Reemployment Rights Act
-Employee Polygraph Protection Act
-Anti-Discrimination Notice and some others.
State requirements are different in every state. If your business contains 10% or more Spanish (as their native language) speaking employees and is located in the following states AZ, CA, FL, GA, NM, NC, NY, TX you are required to post employee regulations in both English and Spanish language. However, this rule does not apply to any other languages.
Did you know that The Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988 (EPPA) prevents employers from using lie detector tests, either for pre-employment screening or during employment with certain exemptions? Employers generally may not require or request any employee to take a lie detector test, or discriminate against an employee, or job applicant who refuses to take a test, or for exercising other rights under the Act. Every employer is required to display the EPPA poster in the workplace for their employees.
Another interesting fact: an employer is not allowed to discriminate a person because of his/her age during hiring. (Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law)
All these laws have to be displayed and all of the employees must have access to them. Knowing your rights is a vital part of every employee to employer relation.
