Is Pursuing Your Employment Case Worth It?
Manage episode 429293888 series 3561377
When grappling with job loss or a toxic work environment, you likely wonder, "Do I have a case? Should I talk to a lawyer?
Fired? Afraid You Might Be?, the latest book from podcast host Tom Spiggle, is your comprehensive guide for navigating employment law issues.
In this episode, Tom walks you through how to get the most out of the first section of the book. The book's structure allows flexibility, enabling you to jump directly to the sections most relevant to your situation.
While Tom suggests starting with the question, "Do I have a case?”, it’s perfectly fine to begin with other sections like "What is the value of my case?" if that's more relevant to your current situation.
Employment law is not always straightforward. Unlike criminal or family law, where the lines are more distinct, the gray areas in employment disputes can be confusing.
Understanding if you have a case is the first step in this journey. An informed assessment can help you make better decisions about your career and future.
Should you consult with an employment attorney or do some preliminary assessment on your own?
By doing your research, you'll be better prepared for a consult with an attorney. Coming in armed with relevant terms, situational context, and preliminary findings will make your interaction more productive. This preparation can make your consultation more efficient, whether it’s a thirty-minute session or a full hour. You’ll be able to provide your attorney with the insights they need to offer you a precise assessment.
