Understanding employment law in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania generally follows the employment-at-will doctrine, meaning employers and employees can often end an employment relationship without a specified reason.
However, federal and state laws, including the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, prohibit certain forms of discrimination, retaliation, and other unlawful employment practices. A complaint with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission generally must be filed within 180 days of the alleged discrimination.
The Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law also establishes requirements for paying wages. When employment ends, the final wages are generally due by the next regular payday.
Employees may file a wage complaint with the Department of Labor & Industry's Bureau of Labor Law Compliance, or pursue a claim in court, generally within three years after the wages were due. Wages that stay unpaid for 30 days past the regular payday may also bring liquidated damages.
Different claims can involve different deadlines and legal standards.
DocDraft helps you organize your information and prepare relevant documents so you can make informed decisions about what comes next.
Bring your draft. Ask your questions.
Some questions call for more than paperwork. Explore document review and consultation options with a licensed attorney.
12. Security deposit. Landlord will refund the deposit, less deductions for damage beyond normal wear and tear1, with a written list of any damages, within 30 days after the lease ends or Tenant surrenders the premises.
Does carpet wear from two years of normal living count as damage?
18. Default. If rent is late, Landlord may end the lease by giving Tenant written notice to quit allowing at least ten days to leave2; if Tenant does not pay or leave within that time, Landlord may file an eviction action.
Can my lease waive the ten-day notice to quit?
