Federal Claims, Nationwide Evaluation

While J. Madison PLC is a Virginia-licensed firm, we evaluate federal employment claims for workers across the United States and its territories, including San Juan. This includes federal statutes like Title VII, the ADA, ADEA, FMLA, and FLSA. Our focus is on federal pathways that apply uniformly, offering a consistent approach to case evaluation regardless of your specific location in Puerto Rico.

Protecting Service Members' Rights

San Juan is home to many veterans, reservists, and National Guard members who serve our nation while also holding civilian jobs. The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) protects these individuals from discrimination and ensures their reemployment rights. We evaluate USERRA claims for service members in San Juan and surrounding areas like Ponce and Caguas, helping them assert their federal protections.

Wage-Hour and Leave Protections

Federal wage and hour laws, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), protect employees from issues like unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, and misclassification. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) also provides federal rights for job-protected leave. We assist San Juan workers in evaluating potential FLSA and FMLA claims, including administrative complaints with the Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division (WHD).
