Fitapelli and Schaffer LLP

Fraud
Under Sarbanes-Oxley, an employee engages in a protected activity when the employee reports suspected violations of federal mail, wire, bank or securities fraud, federal law relating to fraud against shareholders, or any regulation of the SEC. The Act makes it a crime to knowingly retaliate against a whistleblower for disclosing truthful information to the proper authorities.
Money Laundering
Anti-Money Laundering employees for financial institutions may be owed overtime compensation. Read more about these positions and how the FLSA can help protect these workers’ rights. Learn More

Wrongful Termination
If you have recently been fired and believe that you were treated unfairly, you may have a claim for wrongful termination. While human rights laws in New York City and New York State provide that workers are employed "at-will" – meaning you may be fired at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all – there are many exceptions to this rule.
Employment Discrimination
It is unlawful under city, state and federal law for your employer to retaliate against you for complaining about a violation of your rights. The New York State Human Rights Law, New York City Human Rights Law, and several federal laws, including but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Fair Labor Standards Act prohibit an employer from firing or discriminating against you for engaging in a protected activity such as: filing a complaint or for participating in a legal proceeding for harassment, discrimination or unpaid minimum wage or overtime.
Employment Contract
Most employees in New York are hired “at-will,” meaning they can be fired at any time, for any reason or for no reason at all. However, not all employees are deemed “at-will” and one exception to the “at-will” classification are those employees hired pursuant to an employment contract.
Employment Litigation
Fitapelli & Schaffer has been instrumental in recovering millions of dollars for our clients through the litigation and negotiation of employment disputes. While a firm’s success is generally measured from a financial standpoint, at Fitapelli & Schaffer we are proud of the fact that our cases have also led to changes in illegal and abusive employment practices. Below are just a few of the favorable results we have achieved on behalf of our clients.
Non-compete Agreement
Your employer may ask you to enter into a non-compete agreement as a condition of your employment. While it is almost impossible to avoid signing such a document, you may be able to take certain precautions to minimize any restrictions imposed against you. It is advisable to contact the New York non-compete agreement lawyers at Fitapelli & Schaffer to negotiate the best terms on your behalf. Non-compete agreements restrict your right to work in the same field as your previous employer for a certain time, in a certain geographic area. Our non-compete agreement attorneys have the experience needed to limit the geographical and time restrictions imposed against you and may be able to negotiate for additional benefits in return for signing the agreement.
Severance Agreement
When you are laid off due to no fault of your own, your employer may ask you to sign a severance agreement. Severance agreements generally provide an employee with additional compensation in exchange for the release of any and all claims that may have arisen during their employment. While many employees believe that they have no choice but to accept the offer and sign the severance agreement, consulting with the New York severance lawyers at Fitapelli & Schaffer will reveal a multitude of options and allow an employee to make the most of an otherwise difficult situation.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is any unwelcome sexual conduct directed at one employee by another, regardless of gender, and includes inappropriate joking or touching, requesting sexual favors, or any other harassment that is sexual in nature. State, city and federal laws prohibit sexual harassment and prohibit an employer from retaliating against a victim of sexual harassment. You have the right to be employed in a workplace free from sexual harassment and if a supervisor or co-worker has done anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, you should contact a sexual harassment lawyer in New York to enforce your rights. However, not all conduct constitutes sexual harassment...

Disability Discrimination
It is illegal under both state, city and federal law for an employer to discriminate against you on the basis of a disability. If you believe that an employer has taken any adverse employment actions against you because you suffer from a disability, it is advisable to contact the New York disability discrimination attorneys at Fitapelli & Schaffer to schedule a consultation. If your employer has discriminated against you on the basis of your disability, they may have violated one of the following laws, as follows...
