Service Area
Jericho Employment Lawyer
Employee-side representation for people who work in Jericho's office corridor or live in the Jericho area.
Jericho is one of Nassau County's office centers. The corporate parks and professional buildings along the Jericho Turnpike corridor and Routes 106 and 107 house financial services firms, insurance companies, medical groups, law and accounting practices, and the regional offices of larger companies. That concentration of white-collar employment shapes the kinds of employment problems I see from Jericho.
Office workers are not immune from wage violations, but the Jericho matters that cross my desk more often involve severance agreements presented after a restructuring, noncompete and nonsolicitation clauses that follow an employee to the next job, misclassification of salaried employees as exempt from overtime, and discrimination or retaliation claims that unfold over months of documented workplace friction.
I represent employees who work in Jericho and residents who commute into New York City, where the New York City Human Rights Law typically adds a further layer of protection on top of state and federal law.
Employment Issues I Commonly Handle for Jericho Workers
Which Law Applies, and Where a Case Belongs
For work performed in Jericho, claims generally arise under the New York Labor Law, the New York State Human Rights Law, and federal statutes, and may be heard in the Supreme Court, Nassau County, in Mineola, in the Eastern District of New York, or before an administrative agency. For Jericho residents who work in the city, the New York City Human Rights Law and New York City courts may also be available. These forum questions are strategic, and I address them at the outset of every matter.
Consultations are available by phone or video, or in person at my office at 30 Wall Street in Lower Manhattan, which is often convenient for commuters.
Jericho Employment Law Frequently Asked Questions
Do you represent employees in Jericho?
Yes. Jericho is in Nassau County, which my practice serves along with the five boroughs of New York City. I represent people who work for Jericho-area employers and Jericho residents who commute into the city.
My employer offered me a severance agreement with a one-week deadline. What should I do?
Do not sign it without understanding what you are releasing. Short deadlines are a pressure tactic, and in some circumstances the law requires more time than the employer offered. A prompt review can identify what the release covers, whether restrictive covenants will limit your next role, and whether there is room to negotiate.
I am salaried at an office in Jericho. Can I still be owed overtime?
Possibly. Being paid a salary does not by itself make you exempt from overtime. Exemption depends on your actual duties and how you are paid. Employees with titles like analyst, coordinator, or assistant manager are frequently misclassified.
Do you take cases in Suffolk County?
No. My practice is limited to New York City and Nassau County. Jericho falls within Nassau County, but if your workplace is in Suffolk County, you should look for counsel who practices there.
