However, the fact that this case reached the appellate level shows that employment disputes with government agencies can involve complex legal issues that may require multiple levels of court review. Workers facing employment law issues should be aware that cases can sometimes take years to resolve and may involve appeals processes. For specific guidance on employment law matters, workers should consult with qualified employment attorneys who can review the complete facts of their individual situations.
