HANDLING CASES AGAINST THE LARGEST EMPLOYERS AND LAW FIRMS IN CALIFORNIA
Employment Attorney in Orange County
California employment laws serve to protect workers from being wrongfully and unfairly treated in the workplace. Without the protection found in the laws and regulations of the California Labor Code, employees would be unable to perform their jobs due to workplace harassment of different kinds. The Labor Code, as well as numerous other legislative acts, has been put in place so that employers and employees alike can know their rights, and so that violators can be held accountable for their actions.
Employment Law Practice Areas
If your employer retaliates against you for being a whistle blower, you may be entitled to compensation. Examples include: 1) firing you 2) demoting you 3) transferring you 4) reducing your hours.
Termination is wrongful if done for an illegal reason, such as discrimination, or in retaliation for exercising a workplace right (e.g., requesting Family Medical Leave).
It is unlawful to harass an employee because of their sex, per California Government Code Section 12940(j)(1). Be aware of: 1) sexual favors 2) unwanted sexual advances and propositions.
FEHA prohibits discrimination on the basis of: age, disability, pregnancy, race, color, religion, sex or gender, sexual orientation, marital status, and national origin.
Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
The FMLA allows eligible workers a total of 12 workweeks per year of paid or unpaid leave for medical emergencies, childbirth, or severe illness/injury of an immediate family member.
If your employer violates your contract terms, you may seek compensation for breach of contract. This includes unpaid commissions, bonuses, salary, and stock options.
