Sconzo Law Office, P.A.

Employment and disability rights focus

Sconzo Law Office, P.A. opened in 2017 in Palm Beach Gardens. Its work covers employment law and disability rights matters. The firm serves West Palm Beach and nearby communities, and its website states that it represents workers across Florida.

The employment practice includes contracts, non-compete agreements, discrimination, family and medical leave, harassment, wage disputes, whistleblower claims and wrongful termination. Disability rights work addresses access in the community and the workplace. In my opinion, these related fields give the firm a clear and coherent focus.

Employment disputes often involve several connected events. A request for leave may precede a disagreement over attendance, while a workplace complaint may come before discipline or termination. Disability issues can involve access, accommodation, workplace treatment or a combination of those concerns.

Workplace claims and supporting records

Discrimination claims

The site identifies age, disability, gender and sex, pregnancy, race and national origin, and religion as areas within the discrimination practice. Each type of claim depends on its own facts. The timing of an employment decision, the reasons supplied by management and the treatment of other workers can all matter.

Workers commonly preserve job postings, employment policies, performance reviews, disciplinary notices and written communications. Records of complaints and management responses may also help establish a timeline. In many discrimination matters, an administrative charge comes before a lawsuit, so dates and procedural deadlines require close attention.

Family and medical leave

The firm's employment work includes matters involving the Family and Medical Leave Act, commonly called the FMLA. These disputes may concern a leave request, notice to an employer, medical certification, attendance records or a worker's return. Eligibility and the reason for leave also shape the inquiry.

A typical review begins with the worker's employment history and the communications exchanged during the leave process. Payroll records, schedules and leave forms can provide useful detail. The sequence of a request, an employer's response and any later job action often becomes central to the claim.

Harassment and sexual harassment

The website lists harassment and sexual harassment among the firm's employment services. These matters often require a careful account of the conduct, when it occurred and who knew about it. Workplace policies and prior reports may affect how the events are assessed.

Emails, messages, witness names and copies of internal complaints can help preserve the record. An employer's response may also become part of the dispute. A clear chronology helps connect the conduct, any report made by the worker and later workplace decisions.

Wage and work hour disputes

Sconzo Law Office handles wage theft and work hour discrepancies. Such disputes often begin with a comparison of hours worked and wages paid. Time records, schedules, pay statements and the agreed rate of pay can help explain the difference.

Questions may arise over missing hours, disputed time entries or the way an employer recorded work. Workers may also have relevant messages about schedules and instructions given outside recorded shifts. The available documents often determine how precisely the parties can reconstruct a pay period.

Whistleblower claims and wrongful termination

The website includes whistleblower claims within the employment practice. These cases often depend on what a worker reported, who received the report and what occurred afterward. The subject of the report and the law that applies can affect the available claim.

A whistleblower review commonly examines written complaints, internal reports, meeting notes and follow-up messages. Timing can connect a report with discipline, a change in duties or discharge. The stated reason for an employment decision also requires review alongside the worker's records.

The firm also handles wrongful termination matters. That label can involve discrimination, retaliation, protected leave, whistleblowing or another legal basis tied to the discharge. Termination letters, personnel records and communications with supervisors often provide the starting point for analysis.

Contracts and non-compete agreements

The website places contracts and non-compete agreements beside the firm's employee claim work. Contract matters can arise when a worker begins a job, changes roles or leaves employment. The written terms shape the rights and duties at issue.

A contract review may address compensation terms, duties, restrictions and conditions tied to departure. Non-compete provisions often call for close reading of the restricted activity, covered location and stated time period. Other clauses may address confidentiality, customer relationships or the handling of business information.

When an employer seeks to enforce an agreement, the actual language matters. The worker's role and conduct can matter as well. Correspondence between the parties may show how each side understood the restriction and what action prompted the dispute.

Disability access in work and community life

The firm's disability rights practice covers access in the community and the workplace. Community access matters can concern a physical barrier, a service or another condition that affects use by a disabled person. Workplace matters may overlap with the firm's disability discrimination work.

An access inquiry usually identifies the barrier, the place or service involved and the effect on the individual. Photographs, written requests and responses may help document what occurred. In a workplace matter, job duties, medical information shared with the employer and accommodation communications can become relevant.

The firm's website makes a specific claim about Gregory S. Sconzo's activity in this field. It states that he has pursued more actions on behalf of disabled individuals during the past five years than any other attorney in Florida. The site presents that work as part of his employment law and disability rights practice in South Florida.

How the attorneys handle cases

The website names Gregory S. Sconzo and Andrea Sconzo as the firm's two attorneys. Gregory opened Sconzo Law Office, P.A. in 2017 and practises in employment law and disability rights. Andrea works alongside him on matters in those fields.

The site says the attorneys often collaborate on cases. It also states that both attorneys take part in every aspect of the matters they handle. Staff support the two-attorney team.

This structure links the named lawyers directly with the firm's stated areas of work. Clients dealing with employment disputes may have records that cross several subjects, such as leave, disability, pay and termination. The firm's website states that Gregory S. Sconzo and Andrea Sconzo work together on those cases.
