What Employees Need to Know
WORKING WITH AN EMPLOYMENT LAWYER
Under the law, workers are entitled to a safe workplace free of wage theft, discrimination and harassment.
YOU HAVE RIGHTS
“
Unlawful conduct on the job can turn your life upside down. Understanding your rights can help empower you.
THE LAW
IS ON YOUR SIDE
Here's how...
WRONGFUL TERMINATION
It is unlawful for your employer to terminate you for an illegal or discriminatory reason, such as race or national origin, disability or medical condition, sex, age or other protected trait.
WAGE & HOUR VIOLATIONS
You deserve timely payment of all wages and commissions, and California law requires it. Even if your employer says you are exempt, you may be eligible for overtime pay.
Your background, job title or income level do not affect the strength of your case.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT
California law protects employees from retaliation for filing complaints about sexual harassment. Employers have a responsibility to immediately investigate reported incidents and stop the misconduct.
DISCRIMINATION
California and federal laws prohibit discrimination in the workplace based on protected characteristics including disability, sex, race, national origin, age and others.
DISABILITY & MEDICAL LEAVE DISCRIMINATION
California employers with at least five employees must seek to implement accommodations that will help disabled employees keep working.
DISABILITY & MEDICAL LEAVE DISCRIMINATION
The Family and Medical Leave Act allows employees 12 weeks of unpaid job-protected medical leave per year.
You can tip the balance of power in your favor and take on powerful employers.
