Phillips & Associates - Garden City, NY

The lawyers at Phillips & Associates, Attorneys at Law, PLLC, are dedicated to protecting the rights of workers across all professional sectors. Our Long Island office is located on Northern Boulevard in Manhasset and our headquarters is on Broadway in downtown Manhattan.

We know that employers and workplace supervisors often violate the mandates of employment law. When they do, we can help fight back.

Both state and federal law prohibit workplace discrimination based on race, nationality, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, and various other categories. Unfortunately, these laws are flouted frequently. Our law firm is at the forefront of defending workers who face such discrimination. Other areas of discrimination include:

• Pregnancy Discrimination
• Racist Comments
• National Origin or Religious Discrimination
• Transgender Discrimination
• Gender Identity Discrimination
• Failure to Provide a Reasonable Accommodation

Sexual Harassment is Illegal

We have also developed a core competency in representing individuals who endure workplace sexual harassment. Harassment can take many forms - it can be subtle or overt, physical or verbal, same-sex or opposite sex. Victims are often left feeling helpless, afraid they may lose their jobs if they speak out. If you believe you are enduring sexual harassment on-the-job, we can advise you regarding your legal options and ensure your rights are protected.

Wage & Hour Disputes

In addition, our law firm has earned a reputation for success in representing workers in wage and hour disputes. New York State and Federal Law provides protections with regard to minimum wage and overtime pay, as well as break times, sick leave, and time off for family emergencies. We can help you seek justice if your employer tampers with your rights - and with your paycheck.

Retaliation for Complaints of Discrimination

It is important to keep in mind that it is illegal for employers to retaliate against workers who speak up. In fact, it is illegal even if they merely threaten to do so. You cannot be fired or demoted, or lose hours or status, or suffer any other repercussions as result of filing a complaint.
