FEHA Discrimination

The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) is a California law that prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of several protected categories, including race, gender, age, religion, and disability. FEHA applies to employers with five or more employees and provides a range of protections to employees who are subject to discrimination.

Harassment & Sexual Harassment

No employee should endure unlawful harassment to keep their job. California law protects workers from sexual harassment, hostile work environments, and retaliation. If you faced unwanted advances, offensive comments, or punishment for speaking up, you may be entitled to lost wages, emotional distress, and damages. We fight for your rights.

Retaliation

Retaliation in the employment context is when an employer takes adverse action against an employee in response to a protected activity, such as making a complaint about discrimination, harassment, or unsafe working conditions, or participating in an investigation or lawsuit related to these issues. Retaliation is illegal under both federal and California law, and employees who have been retaliated against may be able to seek legal remedies.

1102.5 Whistleblower/Safety Complaint

Section 1102.5 of the California Labor Code provides protections for employees who report violations of the law by their employers. This law is commonly referred to as the “whistleblower” statute, and it is designed to encourage employees to come forward with information about illegal or unethical conduct in the workplace without fear of retaliation.

Rest and Meal Breaks

Under California law, employers are required to provide employees with meal and rest breaks during their workday. Failure to provide these breaks can result in penalties for the employer. The rules regarding meal and rest breaks are set out in the California Labor Code and the Wage Orders issued by the California Industrial Welfare Commission.

Waiting Time Penalties

Under California law, employers are required to pay their employees all wages due at the time of termination or resignation. If an employer fails to pay an employee their final wages in a timely manner, the employee may be entitled to waiting time penalties.

Failure to Accommodate

Under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), employers with five or more employees must provide reasonable accommodations for disabilities and religious beliefs. If your employer denied your accommodation request or failed to engage in the interactive process, you may be entitled to back pay and damages. We hold employers accountable.

Workers Compensation 132a Claim

California Labor Code Section 132a protects employees from discrimination, retaliation, or wrongful termination after filing a workers’ compensation claim or testifying in a workers’ comp case. If your employer fired, demoted, or took negative action against you for exercising your rights, you may be entitled to reinstatement, back pay, and damages. We fight for justice on your behalf.

FMLA Discrimination

California law prohibits employers from discriminating or retaliating against employees for exercising their right to take FMLA or CFRA medical and family leave. If you were demoted, terminated, or faced negative employment actions for requesting or taking protected leave, you can file a complaint seeking reinstatement, back pay, and damages. We fight for your rights.

Constructive Termination

Constructive termination occurs when an employer creates working conditions so intolerable that a reasonable person would feel forced to quit. In California, this is illegal wrongful termination. If you faced harassment, discrimination, demotion, or pay cuts designed to push you out, you may be entitled to lost wages, emotional distress damages, and more. We fight for justice.

Failure to Indemnify

California law requires employers to reimburse employees for necessary business expenses like travel, phones, tools, and equipment. If your employer failed to indemnify you for work-related costs, you may be entitled to recover every dollar owed, plus attorney’s fees and court costs. We hold employers accountable and fight to protect your income.

Misclassification

Worker misclassification in California deprives employees of minimum wage, overtime pay, meal breaks, expense reimbursement, and other vital protections. Under the ABC test, employers must properly classify workers as employees—not independent contractors. If you were misclassified, you may be entitled to recover unpaid wages and benefits. We fight for worker justice.
