Types of Cases Our Las Vegas Employment Attorneys Handle
At Arias Sanguinetti, our Las Vegas employment attorneys handle a wide range of workplace issues to protect employees’ rights under both Nevada and federal law.
Discrimination
Our Las Vegas discrimination lawyer can help if you experience discriminatory practices in the workplace. Workplace discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee unfairly based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, religion, national origin, disability, or pregnancy.
Nevada law (NRS 613.330) and federal laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibit discriminatory practices in hiring, firing, promotions, and other employment decisions.
Our team of attorneys fight against workplace discrimination and represent clients who have experienced:
- Racial discrimination: Our team of attorneys fights against racial discrimination, which includes unfair treatment, harassment, or denial of opportunities based on race, ethnicity, or national origin.
- Sexual harassment or gender–based discrimination: We represent individuals who have experienced sexual harassment or gender-based discrimination, such as unwelcome advances, hostile work environments, or unequal treatment due to gender or sexual orientation.
- Disability discrimination: We assist clients who have suffered from disability discrimination, which involves being treated unfairly or denied reasonable accommodations in the workplace, as protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Age discrimination: Our attorneys also handle cases of age discrimination, which entails unfair treatment or bias against employees or job applicants aged 40 or older, as covered under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA).
Wrongful Termination
Nevada is an at-will employment state, meaning employers can usually terminate employees without cause. However, firing an employee for illegal reasons—such as retaliation, discrimination, or whistleblowing—is considered wrongful termination.
Nevada law (NRS 613.340) protects employees from retaliation, and federal laws like the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provide additional protections for employees taking medical or family leave.
Suppose you were fired for reporting illegal activity, asserting your rights, or for a discriminatory reason. In that case, our team of attorneys can help hold your employer accountable and seek compensation for your losses.
Wage and Hour Violations
Employees in Nevada are entitled to fair wages and proper overtime pay under both state and federal laws. Common wage and hour violations include unpaid overtime, failure to pay minimum wage, improper classification of employees as independent contractors, and denying meal or rest breaks.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS 608.018) require employers to compensate employees properly for their work. In Nevada, the minimum wage depends on whether an employer offers health benefits, and employees must be paid overtime for working more than 40 hours a week or eight hours in a single workday.
If your employer has failed to pay you what you’re owed, our team of lawyers can help you recover unpaid wages, penalties, and damages.
Retaliation
Retaliation occurs when an employer punishes an employee for exercising their legal rights, such as filing a complaint about workplace discrimination, reporting safety violations, or participating in an investigation. Retaliation can take many forms, including demotion, harassment, reduced hours, or termination.
Nevada law (NRS 613.340) and federal laws, such as the Whistleblower Protection Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, make it illegal for employers to retaliate against employees who report illegal activities or workplace violations.
Compensation Our Employment Lawyers in Las Vegas Can Pursue
At Arias Sanguinetti, our employment attorneys in Las Vegas fight to recover fair compensation for the financial and emotional harm caused by workplace violations. The types of compensation we may pursue include:
- Lost wages and benefits: If you’ve been wrongfully terminated, demoted, or retaliated against, you can recover lost income, including back pay for unpaid wages, bonuses, commissions, or benefits like health insurance. You may also be eligible for future wages if your employer’s actions prevent you from returning to your job or advancing in your career.
- Emotional distress: Violations such as discrimination, harassment, or wrongful termination can lead to significant emotional suffering. You may be compensated for mental health impacts, including anxiety, depression, humiliation, or stress caused by the employer’s illegal actions.
- Punitive damages: These damages may apply if the employer’s actions were particularly malicious, reckless, or intentional. They are designed to punish the employer and deter similar misconduct in the future rather than directly compensating for financial or emotional losses.
At Arias Sanguinetti, we’re dedicated to helping you recover the damages you deserve.
