Wage and Hour Claims

California law imposes strict requirements on employers regarding proper compensation.  If you feel that you have unpaid wages, unpaid overtime, missed meal or rest breaks, insufficient vacation or sick days, or any other wage-related issue, you may be entitled to compensation. Speak with one of our experienced wage and hour attorneys today to determine the value of your claim.

Wrongful Termination

In California, an employer cannot terminate your employment for any unlawful reason, including taking medical leave, reporting workplace harassment, complaining about discrimination or harassment, refusing to engage in an illegal act, and more. Speak with one of our employment attorneys today to determine if you have a claim for wrongful termination from your employment. Even if you quit your job because you were fed up with being harassed or discriminated against, or were forced to do so by your employer, you may be entitled to get your job back and/or compensation. It is important that you speak with one of our attorneys as soon as possible since the law places a time limit for your monetary recovery.

Discrimination

Employers cannot discriminate against your race, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, or disability. Discrimination can come in the form of employment termination, demotion, reduced hours or wages, disciplinary actions, and more. If you have experienced any of these discriminatory acts, or if you feel like you have been discriminated against in any other way, contact us immediately for a free and confidential evaluation of your claim.

Harassment

No one should be subjected to harassment at their place of work. Under California law, supervisors and coworkers cannot harass you because of your race, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, or disability. Harassment can mean offensive jokes, derogatory comments, unwanted sexual advances, or quid pro quo (sexual favors in exchange for employment benefits), among others. If you have been harassed at your workplace or forced to work in a hostile work environment, contact us today to speak with one of our experienced employment attorneys.
