There are a host of legal issues that may arise in the workplace. At Gebhardt & Kiefer, P.C., our attorneys have many years of experience representing both employers and employees in employment matters ranging from simple, practical advice to litigation.
Representing Employees
Our lawyers represent employees in litigation and administrative proceedings arising under federal and state discrimination and employment statutes, including Title VII, the Americans with Disability Act, the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, federal and state whistleblower statutes, federal and state Family Leave Acts, and similar laws.
We represent employees who face issues of sexual harassment in the workplace, as well as discrimination based on age, gender, sexual orientation, race, disability, national origin or religion. Our lawyers also represent employees in negotiating employment contracts and non-compete agreements. Our Employment lawyers include Sharon H. Moore, Deborah B. Rosenthal, Steve D.

Representing Employers
With proper legal guidance, employers can avoid common employment problems. Our attorneys guide employers through affirmative action requirements, sexual harassment policy, wage and hour compliance, drug and alcohol testing, and federal and state laws protecting individuals with disabilities.
Our lawyers offer advisory services in termination and layoff, and in the preparation of employee handbooks and personnel policy manuals. We also provide training programs for management and staff on how to avoid sexual harassment and discrimination claims. We assist our public entity clients in labor negotiations and hearings before the Public Employers Labor Relations Commission (PERC) and the State of New Jersey Civil Service Commission.
