Chicago employees may work under overlapping federal, Illinois, Cook County, and City of Chicago rules. Atlas Law Center's employment intake team begins by identifying where the employee worked, which employer made the decision, and which deadline may control.
The firm's physical office is in Lombard. Chicago prospective clients may start by phone or online intake and should confirm whether an in-person appointment is necessary before traveling.
Workplace issues the intake team reviews
- Discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or accommodation disputes
- Wage, overtime, scheduling, leave, and classification questions
- Layoffs, terminations, performance actions, and severance proposals
- EEOC or Illinois Department of Human Rights charge questions
