Why legal advice is different
Employment situations are highly fact-specific.
Accurate legal advice requires consideration of many variables, including (but not limited to):
- the employee’s role, history, and actions
- the employer’s policies, size, and conduct
- applicable federal, state, and local laws
- timing, documentation, and prior communications
Because these factors vary from person to person, general information cannot substitute for legal advice.
What to do if you need legal guidance
If you need legal advice specific to your situation:
- Reach out to your local EEOC office or appropriate government agency, or
- Contact a licensed employment attorney.
