From pay disputes to discrimination claims, navigating a workplace legal problem can be overwhelming — and knowing where to turn for help is not always clear.

Let ABC15 Know and the State Bar of Arizona hosted a free employment law phone bank on Tuesday, May 19.

While sitting down with Let ABC15 Know’s Christel Bell, employment attorney Matthew Moosbrugger explained that the scope of employment law is broad.

"It can go from unemployment benefits, workers' compensation for injured employees on the job site… matters of employment discrimination and workplace harassment… wage and hour issues," Moosbrugger said.

For those dealing with a workplace problem, Moosbrugger said documentation is key.

"It's incredibly important to keep good records… document everything that you think is potentially evidence or could support your claim, and then speak with an attorney about how to actually hold them accountable. Because when employees know their rights and they hold employers accountable. They're more likely to not make that same mistake in the future," Moosbrugger added.
