HARMONY LAW IN THE NEWS
Areti Georgopoulos on Fox 9 News
Attorney Areti Georgopoulos appeared on FOX 9 to discuss how unemployment benefits are affected by COVID-19 and the new CARES Act. She explained that the new federal legislation expands unemployment benefits to independent contractors and other gig workers. Such workers are not normally covered by unemployment insurance, and thus have no safety net to replace their wages at this unprecedented time.
PRACTICE AREAS
Unemployment
The unemployment process can be complex and difficult to navigate. Harmony Law Firm PLLC can help guide you and maximize your chances of success, whether you are trying to obtain benefits, retain benefits, or contest an overpayment.
Discrimination
If you are an at-will employee, employers can terminate your employment for a good reason, a bad reason, or no reason at all—but not because of your sex, disability, age, race, religion, color, national origin or other protected classes.
Disability Accommodations & Medical Leave
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Minnesota Human Rights Act, most employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to workers with disabilities. Accommodations may include changes to your work space, your work schedule, or even time off. These employers are prohibited from treating you unfavorably or terminating your employment because of your disability.
Severance Review
When your employment ends, many employers offer severance payments in exchange for a release of claims. It is important to have an attorney review any agreement which releases your rights to pursue claims in court.
Whistleblower/Retaliation
Employees who report a violation of the law are protected against retaliation by the Minnesota Whistleblower Act, the Minnesota Human Rights Act, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, among others.

Hope Restored
“From the moment I started working with Areti, I was able to gain hope that things would work out in a fair way and they did. She was compassionate, patient, and supportive while facilitating my separation from employment and severance payment. I wanted to fight for myself and feel empowered. She allowed me to have a voice and leave with my head up high.”
