Employment Law Services

We spend much of our lives in a workplace. Work is an important source of self worth, financial stability and the opportunity to utilize one’s talents and skills. Once an individual passes through his or her workplace door each day, there are important federal and state laws which pertain to the employer-employee relationship.

At Weiss & Associates, P.C., we understand that while most people have a productive and satisfying career, there are times when the employment relationship needs to be documented, channeled, corrected, terminated, righted or resolved. Our attorneys are available to consult and assist in all aspects of the employment relationship. Our attorneys have more than 20 years of experience in legal matters that involve addressing issues and rights in the workplace. Our practice areas include:

  • Employment discrimination involving race, color, sex, religion, or national origin (Missouri Human Rights Act and Civil Rights Act of 1964)
  • Sexual harassment and pregnancy discrimination
  • Wrongful discharge
  • Employment contracts
  • Wage and hour (Fair Labor Standards Act)
  • Age discrimination - protecting those 40 and older (Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967)
