At Weiler Law PLLC, We Focus on Results

It shouldn’t be too much to ask for the opportunity to do your job in peace, be evaluated on the merits of your work, and know that your employer follows the law in its business practices.

If you’re like many hardworking people in Arizona, however, you’ve discovered that all too often, employers don’t play by the rules, and now you are paying the price.

You deserve to know that your employer will be held accountable — and that you will have a fair shot to succeed in the workforce whether you were:

Turned down for a promotion because of your boss’s discriminatory beliefs
Denied overtime you worked hard to earn
Or punished for reporting illegal activity at work

Our firm has been a strong advocate for the rights of workers who want nothing more than to do their jobs and provide for themselves and their families.

When an employer has engaged in discriminatory or other illegal behavior, our experienced legal team is ready to put a stop to it and help our client obtain a fair resolution.

What Does an Employment Law
Attorney Do?

Employment law attorneys represent both employers and employees in workplace disputes, as well as in an effort to avoid them by aiding employers in complying with employment laws.

Some common matters that our attorneys provide representation or legal guidance for include:

Mistreatment by an employer: Harassment, misclassification, unpaid overtime
Wrongful termination: Discrimination, medical condition, performing legal rights, public policy issues, violation of contractual rights
Terminating unsatisfactory employees
Unemployment compensation
Discussion of wages/benefits
Employment contracts
Employee policies and handbooks

When employees are taken advantage of or mistreated in the workplace, a qualified attorney can make them aware of their rights and protect them by advocating for them. In contrast, attorneys can also help protect employers from litigation or liability related to employee claims.

Our Areas of Practice

Arizona & Federal Employment Laws

State and federal laws are in place to protect an employee’s workplace rights, including:

Employment At-Will Law

Arizona is an “at-will” employment state. This means that employees can quit or be terminated at any time, with or without cause. Nonetheless, instances of wrongful termination can still occur, for example if the basis of the termination is due to a medical condition or for discriminatory reasons.

Wage & Hour Laws

Minimum wage: Arizona law and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) have wage and hour laws in place that employers must follow, including minimum wage, overtime compensation, and other wage protections. Federal, state, and local laws may designate different minimum wage rates, and employers must pay whichever is highest. For example, Arizona has a set minimum wage of $13.85, which is higher than the federal of $7.25, so employers in Arizona must pay the state’s minimum wage rate.
Tipped employees: Employers may include tips, if employees can earn them, as part of minimum wage compensation. This means that an employer can pay as little as $9.15 per hour, as long as the tips that are earned bring the total hourly pay rate up to at least the state minimum wage of $13.85.
Overtime: The FLSA and Arizona law state that employees will earn a pay rate of time-and-a-half when they work more than 40 hours in a work week. However, there are employees who are exempt from earning overtime wages, for example, a salaried manager.
Discrimination and harassment laws: Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, in addition to other federal laws, prohibits employers from making job decisions based on age, race, color, religion, sex, disability, medical conditions (including pregnancy), or national origin.
Laws are also in place to protect employees from retaliation when complaints are made about workplace harassment or discrimination.
