FAQs
Employment Law in North Andover, MA
What should I do if I believe my employer is violating wage laws?
If you haven’t been paid correctly or on time, document your hours, pay stubs, and any relevant communications. Then contact an employment attorney to review your rights under Massachusetts wage and hour laws and determine the best next steps.
Can a non-compete agreement stop me from taking a new job?
It depends on the specific terms and whether the agreement meets state legal standards. Many non-compete clauses in Massachusetts are unenforceable. We evaluate the language and advise whether it's likely to hold up in court.
How are employment disputes typically resolved?
Many disputes can be resolved without a trial. We often negotiate directly with employers or represent clients in mediation. If needed, we pursue claims through the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination or in court.
