Our Comprehensive Employment Law Services in Idaho
We offer a wide range of legal services for workers in Boise, handling various employment law matters:
-
Workplace Discrimination
No one should face discrimination at work due to race, gender, disability, or other protected categories. Laws such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), the Equal Pay Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protect employees from discrimination in hiring, promotion, and termination. If you’ve been treated unfairly in these areas, our Boise employment lawyers are here to help you take legal action.
-
Workplace Harassment
You deserve a harassment-free workplace. Whether it’s sexual harassment, racial harassment, or other forms of abuse, we will help you hold your employer accountable and fight for a safe, respectful work environment.
-
Workplace Retaliation
It’s illegal for employers to punish employees for whistleblowing or asserting their rights. If you’ve faced retaliation for reporting illegal activities or standing up for yourself, our employment law attorneys will fight for your protection and justice.
-
Wrongful Termination & Constructive Discharge
If you’ve been wrongfully terminated or forced to resign due to unbearable working conditions (constructive discharge), we’ll help you take legal action. Whether you’ve been fired for discriminatory reasons or retaliation, our lawyers will fight for justice and help you secure the compensation you deserve for lost wages and emotional distress.
-
Wage and Hour Violations
Employees are entitled to be paid fairly for the work they perform. If you’ve been denied overtime pay, received less than minimum wage, or faced misclassification by your employer, we’re here to help. Our Boise employment attorneys handle cases of wage theft, unpaid wages, and overtime violations, ensuring that workers are paid properly for the time and effort they put in.
-
Employment Agreements & Contracts
When it comes to employment contracts, non-compete clauses, and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), having legal support is crucial. Whether you’re facing a breach of contract, non-compete agreements, or need help negotiating a severance package, we represent employees in disputes involving employment agreements. We are here to make sure your employment contract terms are fair and enforced.
-
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) entitles employees to job-protected leave for medical reasons or to care for a family member. If your employer has denied FMLA leave, retaliated against you for taking leave, or interfered with your rights, we will ensure your FMLA rights are enforced, and we’ll work to recover any damages you may be entitled to.
-

Executives face unique legal issues regarding compensation packages and employment contracts. Whether it’s a dispute over bonuses, non-compete clauses, or severance agreements, our Boise employment law attorneys are here to represent high-level employees in executive compensation negotiations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Employment Law
-
At the Law Offices of Matthew G. Gunn, we typically handle most employment law cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay unless we win your case. We offer a free case evaluation to discuss the specifics of your case and the potential costs. Our goal is to make legal representation accessible, with no upfront fees and no risk for you.
-
Deadlines for claims against your employer in Idaho depend on the claim type. Discrimination complaints must be filed with the Idaho Human Rights Commission within 365 days. Most wrongful termination and contract claims have a 2-year statute of limitations, beginning from the date of the termination (though some may have a 5-year statute of limitations). For certain specific issues like wage claims, the statute of limitations can be much shorter, sometimes as little as six months. In contrast, discriminatory claims often have a short deadline to file a federal charge with the EEOC (180 or 300 days) before you can sue.
-
Proving discrimination can be a challenging process, but it’s not impossible. You need to show that:
- You were treated differently from others in your situation (such as being passed over for a promotion or fired).
- The treatment was due to a protected category (such as race, gender, age, or disability).
- You suffered harm as a result (such as lost wages or emotional distress).
Our Boise employment attorneys can help you gather the evidence needed, such as emails, witness statements, and employment records, to build a strong case.
-
No, retaliation for complaining about workplace conditions is illegal under federal and state law. If you were fired for reporting discrimination, harassment, or unsafe working conditions, you may have a valid claim for retaliatory termination. We are here to help you pursue justice and compensation for any harm caused by unlawful retaliation.
-
If you’ve faced wrongful termination, wage violations, or discrimination, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, punitive damages (in some instances), and legal fees. The exact amount depends on your case, but our goal is always to secure the maximum compensation for the harm caused by your employer’s unlawful actions.
