Houston Employment Law Attorneys

Protecting Employees in Texas and Across the Nation

Employees often wonder if they have been taken advantage of by their employers — and wonder what to do if this has happened.

- Does an employer have the right to ask employees to work before or after they have clocked in?
- Can a restaurant owner or manager keep part of a waiter's tips?
- If an employee is fired or laid off after reporting illegal activity at a company, is it necessarily a violation of whistleblowers law?
- If younger workers seem to be given priority over older ones for promotions, does that constitute age discrimination? Which types of workers must be paid overtime when they work more than 40 hours per week?
- Must sexual harassment be tolerated when the boss is the offender?

If you need answers to questions such as these, or otherwise suspect your employee rights have been violated, you should contact the Houston-based employment law firm of Shellist Lazarz, LLP to discuss your rights as an employee, executive, or independent contractor.
