Safeguarding Your Rights in the Workplace

As an employee, you have certain rights protected by laws and regulations. It is essential that you understand these rights and know what to do if a complicated situation arises, especially when dealing with workplace issues. If you’re facing challenges, seeking guidance from an experienced Employment Law Attorney Beverly Hills can be invaluable.

Two common issues within employment are harassment and workplace violence. Harassment generally occurs when an employer or coworkers engage in sexual or other forms of harassment, creating a hostile work environment. Workplace violence refers to your right to a safe work environment. In such cases, an Employment Law Attorney Beverly Hills can help protect your rights and guide you through your legal options.

Frequently Asked Questions About California Employment Law

These are the questions that come up most often. They are general information about California law, not legal advice for any particular matter.

For discrimination, harassment or retaliation under FEHA you have three years to file a complaint with the Civil Rights Department, then one year from the right to sue notice to file in court. Unpaid wage claims generally run three years, four where an unfair competition claim is added. The windows differ by claim type, so the safest assumption is that yours is shorter than you think.

For FEHA claims, yes. You file with the Civil Rights Department and obtain a right to sue notice before a court will hear the case. Wage claims can go to the Labor Commissioner or straight to court. Skipping a required step can end an otherwise good claim, which is why the route matters as much as the merits.

Employment here is at will, so most firings are lawful even when they feel unfair. It becomes wrongful when the reason is unlawful: discrimination on a protected characteristic, retaliation for reporting something, taking protected leave, refusing to break the law, or a breach of an actual contract. The reason is what makes it actionable, not the harshness.

It may be. Labor Code section 1102.5 protects employees who report what they reasonably believe is a legal violation, internally or to a government agency. Timing matters, and so does what the employer knew and when. Keep the dates, the reports and any written response.

Non exempt employees are generally entitled to an unpaid thirty minute meal period before the end of the fifth hour, and a paid ten minute rest period for roughly every four hours worked. A missed break owes one additional hour of pay at the regular rate. Those premiums add up across a workforce and across a limitation period.

California applies the ABC test for most claims. You are presumed an employee unless the hiring business proves you are free from its control, doing work outside its usual business, and independently established in that trade. Misclassification affects overtime, breaks, expenses and payroll taxes, and it is decided on the reality of the work rather than the label.

Frequently yes, and California courts enforce them, though the agreement itself can be challenged as unconscionable in some circumstances. Signing one usually means your claim is heard by an arbitrator rather than a jury. It is worth having any such agreement read before you sign it, not after a dispute starts.

Depending on the claim, lost wages and benefits, emotional distress, statutory penalties, and attorney fees where the statute provides them. Some claims allow punitive damages where the conduct was malicious or oppressive. What is available differs sharply between a wage claim and a harassment claim.

Your offer letter, handbook, contracts, payslips, schedules, performance reviews and any written exchanges about the problem. Email them to a personal account before you lose access, because you generally will lose access on the day you leave. Dates and documents decide these cases more often than recollection.

No. The initial review is free, and Etehad Law takes employment matters on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery. Many California employment statutes also shift fees to the employer where the employee prevails, which changes the economics of pursuing a claim.
