What Are Employees’ Legal Rights?

- Denial of Social Benefits: Failure to contribute to pensions, provide leave payments, or pay sick leave.
Why Hire a Labor Lawyer?
- Expertise and Knowledge: Labor attorneys identify legal violations and develop strategies to protect employees’ interests.
- Negotiation: Many disputes can be resolved outside of court through settlements, saving time and resources.
- Evidence Collection: Lawyers assist in gathering essential documentation, such as payslips and email correspondence.

- Damages for Emotional Distress in cases of discrimination or harassment.
