Denver Federal Employment Law Attorneys

If you work for the federal government and have faced discrimination, harassment, or wrongful termination, you may have a claim under federal employment law. At Colorado Employee Advocates, our Denver federal employment law attorneys represent government workers across Colorado in complex workplace disputes. We help employees navigate federal complaint procedures, protect their rights, and seek fair outcomes under the law.

Federal workers must act quickly when filing claims related to discrimination, retaliation, or wage violations. Our Denver employment law attorneys understand the strict filing deadlines and administrative steps involved in EEO claims and are ready to help you take prompt action.

Federal Employment Laws That Protect You

Several federal laws protect government employees and other workers from unfair or unlawful treatment at work:

• The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII): Prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
• The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): Requires overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a week, with limited exceptions for certain positions.
• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination in employment and requires reasonable accommodations in most workplaces, including government agencies.
• The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA): Allows qualifying employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for approved family or health-related reasons while keeping their job protected.

These laws work together to ensure that every employee, especially those serving the public, has a fair and safe workplace. If you’d like to learn more about additional federal employment protections, give us a call to discuss how these laws apply to your specific circumstances.

How To File A Federal Employment Claim In Colorado

Unlike standard employment law claims, federal employees have only 45 days to contact an EEO counselor and initiate a claim against their employer. We realize this can seem like short notice, so we are available for same-day appointments if you’d like to discuss your case right away.

When filing a complaint, you must include:

• Your name, address, and telephone number
• Your job title
• A short but detailed description of the problem
• When the incident(s) occurred
• The type of incident that occurred
• Any other information you have that can corroborate your experience (emails, pictures, etc.)

Once you have filed a complaint – or, better yet, before you do so – reach out to a federal employment law attorney. At Colorado Employee Advocates, we will help you understand your rights and options. We will never sugarcoat your situation, instead providing you with the honest and straightforward guidance you need to make an informed decision about your case.
