For support with workplace discrimination, wrongful termination, wage disputes, or AI bias, call 855-768-8845 or visit www.askthelawyer.us.
The Changing Face of NYC Employment Law
Modern workplaces in New York are marked by flexibility and innovation—but also legal uncertainty. As remote work blurs boundaries, and algorithms influence hiring and firing decisions, disputes over fairness, privacy, and pay are escalating. Add to that the enforcement of new city and state labor laws, and the risk of litigation has never been higher.
Figeroux & Associates helps clients understand their rights and responsibilities in today’s workplace. Whether you’re a business needing compliance guidance or an employee asserting your rights, their legal team offers clarity and action.
Workplace Discrimination and AI Bias
Discrimination remains one of the most common sources of workplace litigation in NYC. Protected classes under local, state, and federal law include:
- Race
- Gender
- Age
- Disability
- Sexual orientation and gender identity
- Religion
Today, AI in hiring and HR is creating new challenges. Algorithms may unintentionally filter out candidates based on biased historical data or flawed training models, leading to AI hiring discrimination lawsuits. Employees denied opportunities due to these practices may have a right to legal compensation.
As leading workplace discrimination lawyers in Brooklyn, Figeroux & Associates is equipped to investigate AI-driven bias and advocate for fair treatment in tech-powered workplaces.
Wage and Hour Violations: NYC Legal Trends
Disputes over unpaid overtime, minimum wage, and misclassification of employees continue to dominate NYC labor litigation. Industries like construction, food service, and gig work are particularly vulnerable. Key violations include:
- Unpaid overtime under the FLSA and NY Labor Law
- Failure to pay minimum wage
- Denying meal or rest breaks
- Misclassifying workers as independent contractors
New York’s Department of Labor is cracking down, and penalties for non-compliance are steep. If you’re an employee who hasn’t been paid fairly, or an employer unsure about wage rules, Figeroux & Associates offers experienced representation as your NYC wage and hour attorney.
Remote Work Legal Disputes
Remote work has improved flexibility but introduced new legal headaches. Common disputes involve:
- Work-from-home expense reimbursement (internet, utilities, equipment)
- Employee monitoring and digital privacy
- Discrimination against remote workers in promotions or assignments
Employers must create equitable remote work policies that protect employee rights and avoid liability. Workers who believe they’re being unfairly treated or excessively monitored may have legal recourse.
Figeroux & Associates handles remote work legal issues in NYC, ensuring employers stay compliant and employees are protected in hybrid environments.
Wrongful Termination and Workplace Retaliation
Wrongful termination cases often arise from:
- Retaliation for reporting harassment, discrimination, or wage violations
- Termination due to taking protected leave (e.g., FMLA)
- Firings that are a pretext for discrimination
These cases can severely impact reputations and finances. As a leading wrongful termination lawyer in Brooklyn, Figeroux & Associates investigates each case thoroughly—gathering documentation, securing witness testimony, and protecting your employment rights.
