Federal Employment Law in Philadelphia

Legal actions pitting employees against their employers are complex enough, but when the employer in question is the United States Government, those complications can multiply.

This is because federal employees are protected by a complex and unique set of laws unlike those in the private sector.  These laws are often beneficial for employees, but are also convoluted.

If you are a federal employee in eastern Pennsylvania, and are involved in a legal dispute with the government agency that employs you, you need an experienced Philadelphia federal employment lawyer to handle your case.

You need an attorney from Touchstone & Associates, P.C.

Complexities of Philadelphia federal employment law

Federal employment law can involve many highly specific laws relating to government employees, or may be based on the same laws that apply to all employees.  Much depends on exactly what your case against a federal agency involves.

Equal opportunity disputes

The same equal opportunity employment laws protect both federal and non-federal employees.  A government employee who has been discriminated against based on age, race, sex or gender, may well have a valid claim and should seek legal advice.

Reduction in force claims

A federal employment lawyer is familiar with the unique rules and regulations that come into play when federal organizations and agencies cut staff.  Touchstone & Associates can examine your case and inform you regarding both the validity of any claim you may have, and the best strategy for pursuing that claim.

Whistleblower protection

Federal employees labeled as whistleblowers may face discrimination and retaliation from their employers in the wake of their actions.  However, there are laws against such behavior.  If you have blown the whistle on illegal or unethical activities at your place of employment, and feel the sting of discrimination in the wake of this, contact Touchstone & Associates today.
