Frequently Asked Questions
Does Omni Law P.C. represent employers, employees, or both in employment disputes?
Our employment law practice represents both employers and employees, and we are transparent about which side we are engaged to represent in any matter so there is never a conflict of interest. On the employer side, we counsel businesses on policy compliance, discrimination claim defense, and wage-and-hour audits; on the employee side, we represent workers facing wrongful termination, harassment, and retaliation. Our attorneys are licensed in multiple states and understand the distinct procedural requirements and substantive law in each jurisdiction where we practice.
What are the key employment law differences across states that businesses operating in multiple jurisdictions need to know?
Employment law varies significantly from state to state. Some states impose expansive employee protections — including strict wage-and-hour rules, independent contractor restrictions, and robust anti-discrimination statutes that cover more protected categories than federal Title VII — while others follow federal standards more closely or operate primarily as at-will jurisdictions with fewer state-law protections beyond federal minimums. We help multi-state businesses build employment policies and practices that satisfy the most stringent applicable state law across every jurisdiction where they operate.
When does an employee discrimination claim have to be filed, and what are the deadlines?
Federal discrimination claims under Title VII, the ADA, and the ADEA require filing a charge with the EEOC before pursuing a lawsuit. The deadline is 300 days in states that have their own anti-discrimination agency and 180 days in states that do not. State agency charge deadlines and statutes of limitations vary further — some states allow up to three years from the discriminatory act, while others impose a two-year window or require an agency charge within 180 days. Missing these deadlines can permanently bar a claim, so we advise clients to contact our attorneys as soon as a potential claim arises.
Are non-compete agreements enforceable, and does that differ by state?
Non-compete enforceability varies dramatically by state. Some states render most employee non-competes void and unenforceable by statute, while others apply a reasonableness test evaluating scope, geography, and duration — and some courts will reform or blue-pencil overly broad restrictions rather than strike them entirely. Other states are more permissive but impose specific statutory requirements for the agreement to hold up in court. Because the rules differ so substantially across jurisdictions, we draft and review non-compete agreements with each applicable state’s standards in mind to ensure they are both protective and enforceable.
What steps should an employer take immediately after receiving an employee discrimination or harassment complaint?
Upon receiving a complaint, an employer should promptly initiate a documented, impartial internal investigation, preserve all relevant communications and records, and consider whether interim protective measures (such as separating the parties) are warranted pending the investigation’s conclusion. Employers should avoid retaliating against the complaining employee in any way, as retaliation claims are often easier for plaintiffs to prove than the underlying discrimination claim. Our attorneys at Omni Law P.C. guide employers through the investigation process, help document findings appropriately, and advise on remedial action that limits legal exposure under both state and federal law.
