Termination can lead to financial devastation for many. When the termination is wrongful, our Missouri employment law attorneys can potentially help you get relief from a variety of remedies, including:
Whether you are a contract or at-will employee in Missouri, you have rights that protect you. Although at-will employees can easily be terminated, the employer’s underlying reason for the termination may or may not be lawful.
If the cause for termination was unlawful, it may lead to a lawsuit. For example, your boss may be able to terminate your at-will employment tomorrow for no reason at all. However, they may not terminate you because you are of a certain race or color.

It is a sad fact that employment discrimination is alive and well in the 21st century. Missouri workers face all manner of discriminatory behavior on the job, including:
Various laws at every level confer the right to work in an environment free of discrimination. At Uthoff, Graeber, Bobinette & Blanke, we defend this right and hold violators fully accountable for their actions.

Harassment is a form of discrimination that unlawfully singles out one or more persons for harassing treatment. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the harassing treatment must involve more than annoyance and irritation. It must consist of behaviors that turn a workplace hostile, intimidating, or offensive to a reasonable person.
Keep in mind that harassment may be committed by virtually anyone in the workplace, including:
Additionally, the target of the harassment is not the only party who may have standing to file a harassment lawsuit. Other workers may also do so if they are affected by the harassing or offensive conduct. If you are forced to endure a hostile workplace, our team can pursue the proper legal remedies for your situation.
Employers who face harassment allegations need a robust defense to protect their business interests and reputation. As our client, you can expect our employer attorney team to extensively investigate the underlying circumstances and vigorously defend you.
Sadly, some workers in Missouri fall victim to pay deprivation, which consists of paying an employee less than what they are owed. Pay deprivation may occur in various ways, many of which go unnoticed by trusting employees. They include:
In some cases, pay deprivation is accidental and often clerical. In other cases, it is calculated and deliberate. Ultimately, the reason why does not affect your right to claim what is yours. At Uthoff, Graeber, Bobinette & Blanke, we’ll review and investigate your payment history and pursue any shortfalls we find.
Contract issues are not uncommon in employment law. Employees on work contracts may face a variety of contractual problems during their employment, including:
In the best of circumstances, employees have savvy contract lawyers review their contracts before they sign them. However, in most cases, this procedure does not happen. Having an attorney review your employment contract, be it an NDA or employment contract, can protect you from oppressive or unfair terms.
Employers facing contract issues can rely on our attorneys as well. For the most comprehensive protection from employment law contract issues, it is best to have an employer attorney draft and oversee all of your work-related contracts early on.
