Common wage and hour violations our labor lawyers handle include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Failure to pay minimum wage<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Failure to provide accurate wage statements<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Improper tip pooling or deductions<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Independent contractor misclassification<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Missed, short, or interrupted meal and rest breaks<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Off-the-clock work requirements<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Unpaid or improperly calculated overtime pay<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If any of these situations apply to your employment issue, our labor law attorneys can review your pay records, identify violations, and pursue the unpaid wages you&#8217;re owed, along with other applicable penalties and damages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Wrongful Termination<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">California is an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hrcalifornia.calchamber.com\/hr-library\/discipline-termination\/at-will-employment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at-will employment state<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, meaning employers can generally end an employment relationship at any time. However, there are exceptions. A wrongful termination may have occurred if an employee is fired because of:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Race, gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Retaliation for filing a workers&#8217; compensation claim<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Retaliation for participating in union activity<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Retaliation for reporting illegal activity or unsafe working conditions<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Retaliation for requesting medical leave under CFRA or FMLA<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Violation of an express or implied employment contract<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you believe you were wrongfully terminated, it&#8217;s important to act quickly. Our California employment lawyers know how to gather the evidence needed, including email records, patterns of performance reviews, the timing of adverse actions, and witness testimony, to build a compelling wrongful termination case.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Workplace and Disability Discrimination<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">California law prohibits employers from making employment decisions based on protected characteristics. Our employment law attorneys handle discrimination cases involving:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Race, color, or national origin<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sex and gender identity<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age discrimination<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Disability (physical or mental)<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Religion<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sexual orientation<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Marital or domestic partner status<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Military or veteran status<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you were passed over for a promotion, given an unfair performance review, or fired because of who you are rather than how you performed, you may have a valid case. Our California labor lawyers will thoroughly evaluate your situation and advise you on the best path forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Sexual Harassment and Workplace Harassment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workplace harassment, including sexual harassment, is prohibited under both California and federal law. California&#8217;s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dor.ca.gov\/Home\/FairEmploymentAct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> applies harassment protections even to employers with just one employee, making it one of the broadest anti-harassment frameworks in the nation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sexual harassment can be exhibited in two forms:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Quid pro quo harassment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: When a supervisor conditions employment benefits on the acceptance of unwanted sexual conduct<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Hostile work environment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: When unwelcomed or severe conduct creates a hostile work environment that is intimidating, offensive, or abusive<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harassment can come from a supervisor, a coworker, or even a client or customer. Employers have a legal duty to prevent and correct harassing behavior. When they fail, they can be held liable. Our employment law firm will aggressively represent you and hold bad actors accountable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Retaliation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most important employee rights under California law is the right to speak up without fear of consequences. Protected rights under California law include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Complaining about unpaid wages or labor law violations<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Filing a workers&#8217; compensation claim<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Participating in a workplace investigation<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reporting discrimination or harassment internally or to a government agency<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Requesting a reasonable accommodation for a disability or religious practice<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Taking protected family or medical leave<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retaliation can entail demotion, pay cuts, schedule changes, reassignment, or termination. California law provides resolutions, such as reinstatement, back pay, and damages for emotional distress. If a problem is reported (e.g., wage theft, discrimination, harassment, or a safety violation) and an employer retaliates, it&#8217;s important to consult with a labor law attorney as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Class Action and Employment Litigation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When an employer&#8217;s unlawful treatment affects multiple employees, a class action lawsuit may be filed. Our employment litigation team has extensive experience handling complex, multi-plaintiff cases where other employees have been denied:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Minimum wage<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Overtime pay<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Meal and rest breaks<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Class actions help individual workers pursue justice collectively when pursuing a claim alone is impractical. If you suspect your employment issue is part of a broader pattern affecting coworkers, contact us to discuss whether a class action suit is appropriate for your circumstances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"employment-law-help\">Signs You May Need a California Employment Attorney<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1593\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1593\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1593\" src=\"https:\/\/attorneyjeff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Van-Nuys-Workers-Compensation-Lawyer-scaled.webp\" alt=\"injured employee filling out work comp claim after suffering workplace injury that may require help from a California Workers' Compensation Lawyer\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/attorneyjeff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Van-Nuys-Workers-Compensation-Lawyer-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/attorneyjeff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Van-Nuys-Workers-Compensation-Lawyer-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/attorneyjeff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Van-Nuys-Workers-Compensation-Lawyer-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/attorneyjeff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Van-Nuys-Workers-Compensation-Lawyer-768x513.webp 768w, https:\/\/attorneyjeff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Van-Nuys-Workers-Compensation-Lawyer-1536x1025.webp 1536w, https:\/\/attorneyjeff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Van-Nuys-Workers-Compensation-Lawyer-2048x1367.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1593\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wrongful termination can result from retaliation for filing a workers\u2019 compensation claim or from discrimination based on race, age, or gender.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many employees aren&#8217;t sure when to consult with labor law attorneys.
