The public sector encompasses a wide range of employees. In addition to city, state and federal government employees, this category includes teachers and university professors. Employees in the public sector have all of the employment protections afforded employees in the private sector, plus additional rights and remedies.

For example, when private sector employees face employment discrimination or are subject to wrongful termination, the only remedy is through the court system. Public and government employees may first seek redress through an administrative agency, such as the State Employment Relations Board, the State Personnel Board of Review or another appropriate agency, depending on the circumstances.

If these initial proceedings do not yield favorable results, public employees may seek redress through the judicial process in state or federal courts.

Our employment law attorneys represent public employees in both administrative proceedings and court proceedings. With nearly 45 years of combined legal experience, we understand the legal challenges that may arise throughout the process, and can provide informed advice regarding the likely outcome of any course of action.

It is important to note that if you have been wrongfully terminated as a public sector employee, you have a limited time to act. Contact our office today by e-mail or call us at 888-217-8778 to schedule a confidential consultation.
