When is the best time to hire an employment attorney?
In employment disputes, damages generally fall into two categories: actual damages and emotional distress. Actual damages refer to tangible losses, such as lost wages and benefits, that directly affect an employee’s financial situation. If an employee has not experienced any adverse actions impacting their ability to earn money, establishing a claim may be challenging.
On the other hand, emotional distress damages pertain to the psychological impact of workplace issues. Employees who suffer significant emotional harm from discrimination, harassment, or other adverse actions may seek compensation for that distress. Both types of damages are crucial to consider when assessing the overall impact of an employment dispute and determining the need for legal representation.
