Employment lawyers in Lee's Summit, Missouri assist workers with issues such as wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, and unpaid wages.

However, state and federal laws protect employees from discrimination based on race, gender, age, or disability, and from retaliation for reporting violations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file an employment lawsuit in Missouri?
For most employment discrimination claims under the Missouri Human Rights Act, you must file a charge with the Missouri Commission on Human Rights within 180 days of the alleged violation. For federal claims under Title VII, you have 300 days to file with the EEOC. Wage claims under Missouri law generally have a two-year statute of limitations, or three years for willful violations.
Can I be fired for no reason in Lee's Summit?
Yes, because Missouri is an at-will employment state, an employer can terminate you for any reason or no reason, as long as it is not illegal. Illegal reasons include discrimination, retaliation, or firing for exercising a protected right, such as filing a workers compensation claim.
