Orlando Employer and Employee Work Matters

Our Orlando employment lawyers offer hands-on assistance and daily advice to existing businesses so their personnel decisions are soundly made in compliance with the law.

Our employment lawyers assist Orlando employees to right the wrongs caused by uneducated or unscrupulous employers through private negotiation or litigation.

Our employment attorneys represent unions and their members in the collective bargaining process, grievance hearings, appeals, and PERC hearings throughout the state of Florida.

Whether it’s forming a new corporation or helping a mom & pop avoid unlawful pay practices, our employment attorneys help develop strategies and flat-fee services for start-ups and small business so they do things right from the start.

Whether you’re an employer or an employee, our employment lawyers provide our knowledge and experience with the (often confusing) Florida unemployment appeals process through simple, low-cost, flat-fee representation agreements.

Gary D. Wilson’s decades of experience representing both public and private sector employees and employers helps him serve as a qualified mediator to assist parties reach amicable resolutions to civil disputes.

A Balanced Perspective

“As one of the few law firms in Florida which represents both employees and employers, Wilson McCoy maintains a balanced perspective with each of its cases. A balanced perspective not only gives us a “sneak peek” at our opponent’s playbook, it allows us to adapt to nearly any situation. Whether it is defending a business or advocating the rights of an individual, we use our experience to forecast our opponent’s next move.”

Practice Areas

Discrimination:

Discrimination and harassment in the workplace can occur in a variety of forms, including decisions related to hiring, firing, pay, promotions, and other actions which adversely affect an employee. Generally, however, such decisions must be made on the protected characteristics such as sex, gender, pregnancy, disability, race, age, national origin, religion, military and other leave status. Our Orlando employment attorneys fight for the rights of employees who face discrimination and defends employers who face discrimination claims.

Whistleblowing:

Reporting or objecting to unlawful conduct can be a scary and formidable process. While employees may want to speak up about violations, they are often afraid of losing their jobs. We help employees through the whistleblowing process and explain their rights when their employers learn of the complaint. Our employment attorneys also assist employers who face whistleblower situations by formulating strategies to avoid claims of retaliation and to take corrective action when required.

Unpaid Wages:

Although it may seem simple, the concept of paying employees and contractors for work performed can be an extremely complex process. With laws regulating compensation structures, commissions, overtime, and payment of PTO, it is easy for violations to occur. Our Orlando lawyers assist both employers and employees in making sure employees are paid as required by the law.

Non-Competes:

Non-competition agreements are enforceable so long as specific criteria are met. Generally, such agreements are entered into at the start of employment with the goal of precluding employees from competing, performing specific work, soliciting clients, or revealing skills or trade secrets to a competitor after an employee has ceased working for the employer. Our attorneys help employers draft and enforce non-competition agreements and employees escape those agreements which are overboard or otherwise unenforceable.

Breach of Contract:

Agreements are made and agreements are broken, often resulting in an actionable breach. Whether it is an employment, executive compensation, partnership, asset & purchase, shareholder, or other form of agreement, our Orlando employment lawyers help employers and employees resolve the simplest and most complex contractual matters through negotiation or, when necessary, litigation.

Business Development:

Every business has a starting point. But, whether that starting point was the correct starting point is often overlooked. Our attorneys help start-ups do things right from the start, and we help guide small businesses and larger employers in the right direction when their day-to-day operations aren’t quite aligned with the law.
