Re: employment law

You and your 15 associates have 180 days to file complaints with the Utah Labor and Antidiscrimination Division. Thereafter you can either wait for them to investigate - which is very slow - or ask for a "right to sue" letter, which allows you to file suit. You are welcome to call for a free consultation.
