Frequently Asked Questions

A lawyer can help by making sure you know your rights which can help prevent your employer from taking advantage of you. They can give you legal advice on a variety of employment issues, from wrongful dismissal to employment contract issues, harassment, discrimination, and more.

Employees have the right to lawful pay (minimum wage, overtime if non-exempt, timely payment) and a safe workplace, protection from discrimination/harassment, reasonable accommodations for disability or pregnancy, and freedom from retaliation for reporting concerns. They also have the ability to discuss pay and working conditions, organize or join a union, and take certain job-protected leave. Many states add extra protections like paid sick time, required breaks, final-pay rules, and pay-transparency laws. Every employment law situation is different, so it’s important to get legal advice.

A willful violation means the employer knew its conduct was illegal or that they acted with reckless disregard for whether it was lawful. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, willfulness can extend the limitations period. The Occupational Safety and Health Act treats willful safety violations as intentional disregard or plain indifference to worker safety, triggering higher penalties.

Instead of paying a lawyer by the hour, you pay a small membership fee for access to a  provider law firm in your state for the legal services membership you select. Prices and coverage vary depending on the membership services you select.

Hiring lawyers the usual way can cost hundreds per hour. But with LegalShield you pay a small fee and get access to experienced lawyers who can help with any number of employee rights issues.

Membership applications are reviewed within 72 hours. Once approved, you can contact your lawyer and to start using some perks of your membership.

For over 50 years, LegalShield has made it affordable and easy for its members to connect with its network of vetted, dedicated law firms across the United States and parts of Canada. Lawyers average 22 years of experience. Please note that LegalShield provides access to legal services offered by a network of provider law firms to its members.
