Workplace Issues We Help With
Wrongful Termination
Being fired for illegal reasons violates California law. We help you fight back.
Employment Discrimination
State and federal laws prohibit discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, pregnancy, sexual orientation, religion, and other protected characteristics.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment and racial harassment are only one of many ways in which employees can be harassed at work. You cannot be harassed based upon a protected characteristic while at work.
Gender Discrimination
Being treated unfairly because of your gender is illegal. California law provides strong protections against gender-based discrimination.
Racial Discrimination
Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, or national origin violates both state and federal law and is strictly prohibited.
Disability Discrimination
Employers must provide reasonable accommodations for disabilities and cannot discriminate based on physical or mental conditions.
Religious Discrimination
You have the right to practice your religion and employers must provide reasonable religious accommodations.
Pregnancy Discrimination
Being unfavorably treated or terminated due to pregnancy is illegal. Numerous state and federal laws protect pregnant employees.
California Family Rights Act (CFRA) and Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Leaves
Eligible employees have the right to take protected leave for family and medical reasons without fear of job loss.
Sick Leave Retaliation
Employers cannot retaliate against you for taking legally protected sick leave or requesting sick pay you're entitled to.
Retaliation
Whistleblower protections ensure you cannot be punished for reporting safety violations or illegal activities.
Overtime Issues
California law requires time-and-a-half pay for overtime work. If your employer hasn't paid you properly, you may be entitled to compensation.
