FAQ
Is There a Limit on Working Hours in New York? The New York State Department of Labor does not limit the number of hours employees can work per day. This means employers may legally ask their employees to work shifts of eight, ten, twelve, or more hours each day.
An employee is not required to give two weeks notice prior to quitting. Employment at-will is still the rule in Pennsylvania. An employee can only file a lawsuit for wrongful termination if it was for a discriminatory reason.
Pennsylvania is an at-will employment state, which means that in the absence of a written employment or collective bargaining agreement, either the employer or the employee may terminate employment for any reason that is not contrary to law. Stumpp v. Stroudsburg Mun. Auth., 658 A. 2d 333, 335 (Pa. 1995).
Yes, Pennsylvania is an at-will employment state. This means that, unless there is a contract stating otherwise, either the employer or employee can terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all, with some exceptions for unlawful discrimination or retaliation.
A job discrimination complaint may be filed by mail or in person at the nearest EEOC office. You can find the closest EEOC office by calling the EEOC at 1-800-669-4000, or by going to the EEOC's Field Office List and Jurisdiction Map and selecting the office closest to you.
The answer depends on your claims and willingness to pursue litigation. If your claims are strong and you are invested in the litigation process, it can be very “worth it” to feel you are standing up for accountability, getting compensation for your injuries, and incentivizing the company to change its ways.
Evidence takes several forms. It includes your testimony, which is the very first evidence gathered by EEOC. It also includes written materials such as evaluations, notes by your employer, letters, memos, and the like. You will be asked to provide any documents you may have that relate to your case.
FOR ACTS THAT OCCURRED ON OR AFTER 2/15/2024, you must file your complaint within three years of the most recent act of alleged discrimination. If you were terminated, you must file within three years of the date you were first informed you would be terminated.
Just as you can make a report against your CEO to HR and HR has an obligation to follow up on it, whoever supervises HR has an obligation to respond to complaints against HR. If you do not feel comfortable going to the CEO, you may be able to make a report to another supervisor.
Enforcing workforce policies is essential to creating a safe and productive work environment. Managers and HR professionals are critical in ensuring policies are upheld and employees are held accountable.
