Every individual has the right to a fair and equal opportunity in their employment, regardless of race, color, sex, age, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, military or veteran status, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, or genetic information.

Discrimination can take various forms, including harassment, unequal pay, denial of promotions or training opportunities, and wrongful termination. Our employment law attorneys can assist you in obtaining the justice you are due if you have experienced discrimination.

Every employee has the right to work in an environment free from harassment and discrimination. Sexual harassment can include sexual advances, unwanted physical touching, or sexual jokes.

This behavior creates an uncomfortable and hostile work environment, negatively affecting the victim’s well-being and work performance. If you feel that you’ve been sexually harassed, we can help you get the justice you deserve.

Employers cannot take negative action against employees for engaging in protected activities, such as reporting discrimination, sexual harassment, unsafe working conditions, unpaid or unequal wages, or other illegal activities.

If you believe you have been the victim of retaliation in the workplace, you have the right to take legal action and seek justice.

California law protects employees who report their employer’s or co-workers’ illegal activities or violations. When an employee acts as a whistle blower by exposing illegal activity, the law prohibits their employers from retaliating against them.

At our firm, we protect employees who speak up and work tirelessly to hold their employers accountable.

You should be paid fairly for the work you perform. However, not all employers do so. Your employer is required by law to pay you at least minimum wage, pay for all the hours you have worked, and provide overtime pay if you have worked more than eight hours a day or 40 hours a week.

If you suspect that your employer is committing wage theft , you have the right to take action to protect yourself. Our legal team has extensive experience handling wage and hour disputes and can help you understand your rights under the law.

As an hourly employee in California, you have the right to have a meal and rest break during your workday. These breaks are essential for your health and well-being, and California law requires your employer to provide them.

If your employer fails to provide the required meal and rest breaks , they are breaking the law, and you may be entitled to compensation. You may be entitled to significant compensation if you are not getting your breaks. Our attorneys can help.
