Sexual Harassment Claims - The Law Office of Kenneth J Amoriggi represents individuals who are victims of sexual harassment in the workplace or any other form of harassment within a place of employment that can be classified as a hostile work environment.

Wrongful Termination – Although certain states require a worker to have an employment agreement to prevent a dismissal without just cause, a Providence employer cannot dismiss an employee for any illegal reason, as in the case of pregnancy, for example, even when no official employee contract exists. Termination is illegal when based on age, race, gender or disability, or because you have filed a claim or required to take a medical leave. Firings based on sexual orientation however are subject to certain jurisdictions according to recent laws. Compensation for a wrongful termination may include lost benefits, retroactive wages, and loss of potential future pay and in some case reinstatement of your job. The Law Office of Kenneth J Amoriggi attorney will review the specifics of your case and inform you as to whether filing a lawsuit for wrongful dismissal is viable in your particular case.
Employment Contracts – Employment contracts are written by the employer to protect their best interests. As an employee, you have the right to protect your own.

Whether you are presently involved in negotiating an employee agreement, or require legal counsel for employment litigation, contact The Law Office of Kenneth J Amoriggi employment contract issues relate to any type of non-compete agreements or dispute, non-disclosure agreements and the negotiation and/ or litigation of severance agreements.
