EMPLOYMENT LAW

Wrongful Termination:
In California, wrongful termination cases occur when an employee is fired in violation of legal statutes or public policy. This includes terminations due to discrimination, retaliation, or refusal to commit illegal acts.

Workplace Discrimination:
These cases involve unfair treatment of employees based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, and more, in violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act.

Sexual Harassment:
Sexual harassment in the workplace can include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature, which create a hostile work environment.

Wage and Hour Disputes:
These disputes arise over issues such as unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, and misclassification of employees as independent contractors, contrary to the California Labor Code.

Retaliation:
Retaliation cases involve adverse actions taken against employees for engaging in legally protected activities, like filing a complaint or whistleblowing on illegal practices.

Family and Medical Leave Violations:
These cases pertain to the denial of legally protected leave for family or medical reasons under the California Family Rights Act or the federal Family and Medical Leave Act.

Disability Discrimination:
Disability discrimination occurs when employers fail to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities or unjustly discriminate against them in hiring, promotion, or job duties.

Hostile Work Environment:
A hostile work environment is created when an employee experiences discrimination or harassment that is so severe or pervasive that it alters the conditions of employment and creates an abusive working atmosphere.
