Kakalec Law represents workers who have not been paid the wages the law requires. We bring claims based on unpaid minimum and overtime wages, misclassification of employees as “independent contractors,” and other types of wage theft. We help workers recover the wages and damages owed to them for their work. We represent employees who experience discrimination on the basis of race, color, age, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability, as well as other protected categories and people who are sexually harassed at work. We consult on employment agreements at the beginning of employment, and severance agreements at the end. We negotiate with employers and advise employees on issues such as non-disclosure agreements, non-compete clauses, severance payments, and releases. Our firm is also dedicated to representing clients with all types of disabilities who seek to fight discrimination and break down barriers–whether physical or practical–in all areas of life: work, transportation, housing, public accommodations, education, health care, government programs, institutions.
