Employment Rights in Enid & Garfield County

From federal contractors at Vance AFB to oil field roughnecks, we believe every worker deserves dignity and fair pay.

We Stand With Workers

Employers in Enid often think they can do whatever they want. We are here to remind them of the law.

Oil & Gas Workers

We fight for roughnecks and drivers fired for refusing to perform dangerous work or reporting safety issues.

Wrongful Termination

Being fired due to your race, religion, gender, or for following the law is actionable. We seek back pay and damages.

Contract Disputes

We help executives and professionals negotiate severance and fight unreasonable non-compete agreements.

Industries We Monitor

Enid's economy is diverse, and so are its employment issues.

Vance AFB Contractors

Civilian contractors play a huge role at the base. We handle security clearance issues and federal whistleblower claims.

Processing & Energy

From grain elevators to fertilizer plants, industrial workers face safety risks. Retaliation for reporting hazards is common.

Hospitality & Retail

Wage theft (unpaid overtime, tip pooling violations) and sexual harassment are rampant in these sectors.

Employment Claims We Litigate

We provide aggressive representation against unfair employers.

  • Discrimination

    Based on race, age, gender, religion, or disability.

  • Whistleblower Retaliation

    Being fired for reporting fraud or safety violations to authorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you're looking for an employment attorney near you in Enid or Garfield County, choose a firm that handles discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination cases. Addison Law Firm represents employees throughout Oklahoma in EEOC proceedings and federal court.
Yes. Federal contractors have specific protections under laws like the Service Contract Act and Executive Order 11246 (non-discrimination). Retaliation for reporting fraud or safety violations is also strictly prohibited.
No. Retaliation for filing a workers' compensation claim is illegal in Oklahoma. If you were fired shortly after reporting an injury, you likely have a strong wrongful termination case.
This may constitute a 'hostile work environment' under Title VII. You should document everything, report it to HR (if possible), and contact an attorney immediately to protect your rights.
Generally, no, for adults. However, if your employer offers a break (under 20 mins), it must be paid. If they deduct pay for breaks you didn't take, that is wage theft.
