Potential Clients
Due to the high volume of inquiries, individuals seeking representation for potential wrongful termination (discrimination/retaliation) claims must first read the following three articles:
Practice Areas
Some of the employment related practice areas Mr. Sud specializes in include:
Non-Compete Agreements & Trade Secrets Claims
Many employers require employees to sign non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, and often try to enforce them after an employee leaves. However, these agreements may be challenged in court, as they could be found unenforceable depending on the geography, time period, and scope of the limitations. Mr. Sud can evaluate such agreements, advise you accordingly, and represent you in court. He also frequently defends employees accused of taking trade secrets.
Overtime & Wage Claims
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) ensures fair compensation, requiring overtime pay for most employees working over 40 hours per week. Some exemptions allow fixed salaries regardless of hours worked, but employers may misclassify workers or fail to meet salary requirements. If you perform hourly duties on a salary or your pay is docked for partial absences, you may still be entitled to overtime. Additionally, tipped employees, such as waitstaff, have specific protections under the law to ensure they receive proper wages.
Discrimination & Retaliation
Mr. Sud frequently litigates claims of age, disability, race, and sex discrimination (as well as all other forms of illegal discrimination), including failure to accommodate disabilities, and retaliation. Employers often tend to make adverse employment decisions based on inappropriate assumptions concerning certain demographics, and employees should fight for their rights if they are treated illegally. Also, employers are not permitted to retaliate against employees for making good faith protected complaints.
Severance Agreements
Employers often offer severance agreements during layoffs or terminations, providing compensation in exchange for waiving the right to sue. Consulting an experienced employment attorney is crucial to determine if your rights were violated and whether you have a strong claim. This could improve your ability to negotiate a better severance. Mr. Sud has extensive experience writing, evaluating, and negotiating severance agreements for both employees and employers. Contact Mr. Sud for assistance in reviewing your severance agreement and exploring potential options.
Protection of Nurses in Texas
Nurses and other health care professionals have additional rights provided by state law, that protect them from several forms of retaliation. Mr. Sud has represented several nurses throughout the state of Texas.
Pregnancy Discrimination in the Workplace
Federal and Texas laws prohibit sex discrimination, including pregnancy discrimination under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978. While employers know they shouldn’t discriminate against pregnant employees, violations still happen, even unintentionally. Employers cannot assume certain jobs are unsafe or “too stressful” for pregnant workers. Stereotypes about new mothers’ ability to work can support discrimination claims. Courts have ruled that statements like an employee would be “happier at home with her children” or that women “should stay home, be mothers, and take care of their children” may be direct evidence of unlawful discrimination.
