Employment Cases
Employment cases are among the most difficult to resolve. Both the employer and the employee generally feel a deep sense of injustice and betrayal, which leads to anger, fear, and deep hostility on all sides. Doug has gone so far as to write a book about this subject, .
Highlights
- Sexual harrassment, including claims of rape
- Disability discrimination
- Gender discrimination
- ADA claims
- DFEH and EEOC claims
- Wage and hour disputes
- Disputes arising under collective bargaining agreements
Many employers come to Doug with substantial employee disputes before they have ripened into lawsuits. He is finding that early mediation of employment claims, whether felt to be meritorious by the employer or not, is becoming a common practice. Similarly, bringing litigated cases to early mediation often results in a satisfactory settlement without the cost of discovery or trial.
