_The Saginaw Law Office of Gafkay & Gardner, PLC often represents clients in cases involving work discrimination in Michigan.

When most people think of employment law, the first thing that comes to mind is a lawsuit in which a former employee is suing for wrongful termination. However, employment law has a much broader scope, which encompasses all aspects of the employer-employee relationship. The law maintains a balance of fairness and equity among employers and employees that is vital to businesses today. For example, federal law prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Title VII is the principal federal statute that prohibits unlawful discrimination against the employees and retaliation against any person for opposing any practice forbidden by statute, or for making a charge, testifying, assisting, or participating in a proceeding under the statute.

Additionally, many employers today have extensive human resources policies that provide standards for employee behavior in the workplace. Moreover, there are various local, state, and federal laws regarding the numbers of hours worked in a week, as well as the minimum pay that an employee can receive and the proper safety measures that need to be implemented in a place of employment.
