Best Employment Law Blogs Worth Following

Most employment law blogs are written by firms that represent workers, not employers. That shapes what you read. Deadlines get heavy coverage because a missed EEOC filing window can end a claim before anyone looks at the facts. The blogs below explain those rules in plain terms.

Leading Employee Rights Blogs on Firings, Pay and Harassment

Screenshot of the Caskey, Holzman & Barari Employment Law Blog
30200 Agoura Rd, Suite 240, Agoura Hills, CA 91301, United States

Caskey, Holzman & Barari have represented California employees since 1977, and their employment law blog stays in that lane. Posts stick to the wage rules workers actually hit. Think second meal breaks after ten hours, unpaid short breaks, and bonuses that change your overtime rate.

You will also find plain answers about being fired for missing a shift, being late, or missing paychecks, and about quid pro quo harassment. Each post ties the question back to California statute instead of general advice.

Dan Holzman and Cory Barari run the practice from Agoura Hills, just outside Calabasas. New entries appear most months, sorted into categories like overtime, retaliation, and meal and rest breaks.

5373 W. Alabama, Suite 600, Houston, TX 77056, United States

A $1.15 million jury verdict in an age discrimination and retaliation case leads the recent posts here. That tells you plenty about what this Houston firm writes on. Shellist Lazarz Slobin has taken employee-side cases since 1994, with offices in Houston and Dallas.

The writing leans practical and often speaks to executives. Recent entries cover golden parachute negotiations, ADA compliance for Texas businesses, and what to do when an employer ignores an employment agreement.

Older posts dig into tip pooling, side work, overtime for high earners, and severance terms you can still negotiate. Board-certified labor and employment attorneys write them, which shows in how closely each post tracks EEOC procedure.

Screenshot of the Golan Legal Blog
6300 Wilshire Blvd #1415, Los Angeles, CA 90048, United States

Jeremy Golan built his Los Angeles practice around employee rights, and the blog keeps that same narrow focus. Payback for speaking up is the recurring theme, including a recent piece on intersectional retaliation and another on the warning signs that follow a complaint.

Wage and hour coverage runs deep too. You will find posts on California minimum wage ballot measures, employment separation agreements, and how the FMLA treats intermittent flare-ups of chronic conditions.

Golan Law also takes commission disputes and claims from high-wage earners, subjects few employee-side sites touch. Posts run short and answer one question at a time.

Few workplace law blogs publish at this pace: more than 120 posts in 2026 alone. Phillips & Associates covers discrimination and harassment from a New York plaintiff's side, with 38 attorneys spread across six offices in four states.

Topics get specific. Recent entries look at supervisor harassment, what happens when several employees complain about the same person, and what evidence actually proves whistleblower retaliation.

Screenshot of the The Spitz Blog
25825 Science Park Dr, Suite 200, Beachwood, OH 44122, USA

Blunt is the word for this one. A headline about getting fired for stealing chicken wings sits right next to a careful walk-through of FMLA leave rights and ADA reassignment.

Spitz writes from Beachwood, Ohio and represents employees only. Recent posts cover missed EEOC deadlines, equitable tolling after a disaster, and why workers who file without a lawyer usually lose.

Screenshot of the The Law Offices of Todd M. Friedman Blog
23586 Calabasas Rd., Suite 105, Calabasas, CA 91302, USA

Two practice areas share this blog: employment law and consumer protection. The firm served as co-counsel on a $24.75 million Grubhub settlement over gig driver misclassification, approved in January 2026.

Consumer posts track credit report errors and the Uber 1099 identity theft wave that put Todd Friedman on CBS News. Employment posts stay practical, such as how to prepare for a free case evaluation. A Boston office opened in 2026, the firm's fifth.

Screenshot of the Karpf, Karpf & Cerutti Blog
8 Interplex Drive, Suite 210, Feasterville-Trevose, PA 19053

Three states, one blog. Karpf, Karpf & Cerutti write for employees in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. Posts often split along state lines, from earned sick leave for part-timers to reporting harassment under New Jersey rules.

Other entries take on newer questions. You will learn whether ADHD and anxiety count as protected disabilities, what quiet firing looks like, and when an unpaid internship is legal.

8794 West Boynton Beach Boulevard, Boynton Beach, FL 33472

Florida workers get a deep archive here, with posts running back to 2014 and hundreds filed under sexual harassment alone. William Julien has served employees since 1994 from Boynton Beach, plus the Boca Raton and Jupiter offices by appointment.

Newer entries explain remote work requests under the ADA and how to preserve emails as evidence. One post covers whether an employer can withhold a commission after you resign.

Screenshot of the The Lavi & Ebrahimian, LLP Blog
8889 West Olympic Boulevard #200, Beverly Hills, CA 90211, USA

Wage and hour class actions are the specialty at this Beverly Hills practice, founded by Joseph Lavi in 2003. Its win in Alvarado v. Dart Container set California Supreme Court precedent on overtime. The blog follows PAGA claims and worker pay.

Screenshot of the Santa Barbara Employment Blog - Anticouni & Ricotta
201 North Calle Cesar Chavez, Santa Barbara, CA 93103, USA

Santa Barbara is the base for this employee-rights blog, run by a firm that filed one of California's earliest wage class actions. Recent posts cover quiet firing, promised bonuses that never arrive, and whether an employer may alter a digital timesheet.

Screenshot of the Azat Blog
600 S Lake Ave, Ste 410, Pasadena, CA 91106, USA

The Azat Law Group posts from Pasadena on California wage rules and discrimination claims. Standouts include losing a job to an AI performance score and the state's new ban on intersectional bias. Consultations are free, and the site has a Spanish version.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are employment law blogs a substitute for legal advice?

No, and they say so. Every blog here carries a disclaimer for a reason. Posts describe how a law generally works. They cannot account for your contract, your state, or your timeline.

How much do employment lawyers charge?

Often nothing upfront. Many employee-side firms work on contingency and take a share of any recovery. Others bill hourly for advice, contract review, or severance negotiation. Consultations are free at most of the firms behind these blogs.

How long do I have to file a claim?

Less time than people expect. Federal discrimination claims usually start with an EEOC charge, filed within 180 days of the conduct. That stretches to 300 days in states with their own fair employment agency. Wage claims run on separate clocks.

Does at-will employment mean I can be fired for anything?

Almost, but not quite. At-will lets an employer fire you without a reason. It does not let them fire you for an illegal reason. Race, disability, pregnancy, and a complaint you filed all count.

Do state blogs matter if I work somewhere else?

Yes, for the federal parts. ADA, FMLA, Title VII and FLSA posts apply nationwide. State coverage does not. California wage rules and New Jersey sick leave only help you if you work there.

How often should a good legal blog publish?

Monthly is a fair floor. Employment law shifts with new statutes and court rulings each year. A blog that stopped in 2021 may still describe a rule that has since changed.

What should I document before I contact a lawyer?

Dates, names, and originals. Save emails, texts, schedules, pay stubs, and write-ups to a personal account, not a work one. Several blogs here run posts on preserving evidence, and it is the advice lawyers repeat most.

Types of Employment Law Blogs

Employee-rights blogs. The largest group. Posts answer the questions workers type into search after a firing or a bad paycheck.

Wage and hour blogs. These focus on overtime, meal and rest breaks, misclassification, and unpaid time. Coverage often gets very state-specific, since wage rules vary widely.

Discrimination and harassment blogs. Written by firms that litigate Title VII, ADA and state civil rights claims. Expect posts on hostile work environments, accommodations, and proof problems.

Class action and case-result blogs. These report settlements and verdicts as they happen. Useful if you want to see what these cases actually pay and how long they run.

Mixed employment and consumer blogs. Some firms cover both workers and consumers, so gig misclassification sits next to credit reporting posts. Handy when your issue crosses both.

How to Choose an Employment Law Blog

Check who writes it. Look for named attorneys with bios, not anonymous posts. A firm that litigates these cases writes differently from a content mill.

Match the state. Wage, leave and harassment rules change at the state line. A California blog will not answer a Texas overtime question.

Look at the last post date. An archive that stops two years back tells you nothing about current law. Recent posts also signal an active practice.

Prefer specifics over reassurance. Good posts name the statute, the deadline, and the exception. Weaker ones repeat that your situation is stressful and suggest calling.

See if they cover results. Blogs that publish verdicts, settlements, and appellate decisions show what the firm actually handles. That is useful context if you are also shopping for counsel.
