Employment Litigation Definition Image Source:http://www.befblegal.com/employment-litigation.php Employment litigation is a complaint in which an employee sues an employer or an employer is sued because of an employment-related issue. It involves pay, overtime and other situations in which an employee suffered biased treatment in connection with his/her job. At question it may be claims of discrimination or harassment.
