Philadelphia Employment Lawyers
Working to earn a living is hard, whether in an office, on an assembly line, or anywhere else toiling for your paycheck. You have rights under the law—more than you may realize. However, those rights only matter if you have legal counsel capable of defending you when your rights are violated. Providing workers the representation they need and deserve is the reason Goodley McCarthy LLC was formed.
The rights of workers begin with the basics of being compensated for their time. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has protections that range from minimum wages to overtime pay to the proper classification of independent contractors. The Davis-Bacon Act lays out standards for prevailing wages on federal projects that apply to union and non-union workers alike. When brave employees step forward to report violations of any kind, they are protected from retaliation by whistleblower statutes.
You have the right to be paid and to be treated fairly. It’s easy for a violated employee to feel isolated and powerless. That’s why we’re here. Our goal is to level the playing field, give you a voice, and work towards the full legal protections you are entitled to.
