Our Services for Florida Employees

At Kopp Legal, PC, we believe that every employee deserves a safe, respectful, and fair work environment. Unfortunately, many individuals face challenges in the workplace that violate their basic rights. Some of the key areas in which we provide support to employees are as follows.

Workplace Discrimination and Harassment

No one should have to endure discrimination or harassment in the workplace. Whether it is based on race, age, gender, disability, religion, or any other protected characteristic, workplace discrimination is a serious issue. We strive to help employees pursue justice by filing complaints, negotiating settlements, or litigating matters in court when necessary.

Unpaid Wages and Overtime Claims

Receiving fair compensation for your work is not just a right; it’s essential for your personal livelihood. Unfortunately, some employers fail to pay employees what they are owed, whether it involves unpaid wages, misclassifying an employee as exempt, or improperly denying overtime pay. We can help you recover unpaid wages and ensure your employer complies with state and federal wage laws.

Wrongful Termination

Being terminated unfairly or unlawfully can have devastating financial and emotional consequences. Our team will review the details of your termination, identify possible legal violations, and help you pursue the justice and compensation that you may be entitled to.

Retaliation and Whistleblowing

Employers cannot lawfully retaliate against employees for reporting illegal practices, misconduct, or unsafe working conditions. If you have been punished for speaking out, we can help protect your rights under whistleblower and anti-retaliation laws.

Clear, comprehensive employment agreements are essential for setting expectations and protecting your business. Our attorney can help you draft, review, and revise employment contracts, non-compete agreements, and severance packages to make sure they are clear, fair, and legally enforceable.

Compliance with Labor Laws

Our team provides legal and regulatory guidance to make sure your company complies with all relevant laws, including wage and hour regulations, anti-discrimination statutes, and workplace safety requirements.

Employee Handbook Development

An effective employee handbook establishes clear policies and procedures, reducing the chances of misunderstandings and disputes. We work with businesses to create or update handbooks that reflect current labor laws and best practices.
