Our Practice Areas

Weisberg Cummings provides skilled legal representation in all types of employment law matters. Our experienced attorneys carefully assess your situation and give knowledgeable counsel. If there are grounds for an employment claim, we devise a viable legal solution and develop a thorough gameplan.

We believe employees have the right to safe, fair workplaces and provide legal services for the following:

Sexual Harassment

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) defines sexual harassment in the workplace as any type of unwelcomed verbal or physical sexual advances done by employers, co-workers, clients, vendors or other individuals.

Sexual harassment is unacceptable, and victims may face disbelief and lack of action within an organization. Being approached by anyone requesting sexual favors or directing other unwanted sexual words or actions toward you could be grounds for a sexual harassment claim. Our knowledgeable sexual harassment and assault attorneys will hear your story and discuss your legal options.

If you choose to file a claim, our lawyers will assist you in collecting the evidence needed to file a sexual harassment lawsuit. We work on sexual harassment claims with employees who have suffered inappropriate advances, sexual and sexist comments, threats or coercion.

Examples of workplace sexual harassment may include:

  • Sexual remarks about someone’s body, clothing or appearance
  • Sexist remarks about someone’s gender
  • Unwanted questions about someone’s sex life
  • Sexually offensive jokes
  • Unwanted and inappropriate physical contact
  • Lewd gestures
  • Promises, threats or demands to have sexual contact
  • Stalking
  • Assault

Contract Disputes

Contracts are legal documents that protect both employers and employees. If any of the parties in an employment arrangement do not fulfill their obligations in the contract, it can be grounds for a breach of employment agreement case. If your employer fails to comply with the terms of a legally binding contract or opposes the terms, you might have an employer breach of contract claim.

We handle all technical aspects necessary to identify if you have a case for a contract dispute. Our experienced contract dispute lawyers identify liability issues, determine contract validity and evaluate state laws. We can mediate contract issues and negotiate severance or compensation for employees affected by a breach of contract.

Examples of breach of employment contract may include:

  • If you haven’t received the agreed wages, bonuses or benefits
  • Misclassified job duties or advancement opportunities for your position
  • If there are non-compete or confidentiality agreements that contradict your initial contract

Severance Issues

Getting fired from your job can be a potential financial and personal blow. Whether you left an organization due to a reduction event or a layoff, there are legal limits on the reasons your employers may terminate your employment. If you suspect that your severance agreement is unfair or that the reasons for termination are unethical or illegal, you may have an employment claim.

We can help you negotiate a severance agreement that resolves real and potential problems with your employer. This document covers all of the rights and responsibilities of both the employer and employee and can include benefits such as pay and insurance.

We can review your agreement and determine if your employer is asking you to waive significant benefits or rights. If you suspect wrongful termination, our attorneys can determine if you have a potential retaliation or discrimination claim and help you negotiate a fair agreement or proceed with different legal actions.

Employment Discrimination

Employment discrimination is, unfortunately, a common occurrence. In fact, the EEOC reported a total of 88,531 new charges of discrimination in 2024 alone. Our employment discrimination lawyers in PA have extensive knowledge of both local and federal laws for workplace discrimination.

The EEOC has established workplace standards to prevent discrimination in the work environment. The law divides discrimination into types based on factors such as race, color, religion, sex, age and disability. If you feel your employer discriminates against you and disregards anti-discrimination laws, you might be entitled to financial compensation.

Workplace discrimination examples may include:

  • Refusals for promotions or training opportunities
  • Harassment, name-calling and humiliation
  • Exclusion or isolation
  • A difference in compensation compared to others in similar positions
  • A lack of reasonable accommodation

We address all workplace discrimination claims, including the subtlest discriminatory acts against gender, race, religion, sexual orientation and ethnicity. Our employment discrimination lawyers servicing Lebanon and all of Pennsylvania also provide support for claims of discrimination against criminal records, pregnancy and medical marijuana card holders.

We advise and represent workers with a disability in ADA violation claims against an employer that has interfered with their ADA rights, such as failure to hire or make reasonable accommodations.
