Common Employment Law Claims
Understanding the most frequent types of employment law disputes helps both employees and employers navigate potential legal challenges. These are some of the key areas where violations often occur:
Wrongful Termination
When an employee is fired for an illegal reason, such as discrimination, retaliation, or in violation of an implied contract or public policy. California has specific "at-will" employment nuances.
Discrimination
Unfair treatment based on protected characteristics like race, gender, age, disability, religion, or national origin. This encompasses hiring, promotion, pay, and termination decisions.
Wage & Hour Violations
Failure to pay proper wages, including unpaid overtime, misclassification of employees, or denying required meal and rest breaks. These claims often lead to substantial penalties.
Workplace Harassment
Unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic that creates a hostile work environment or leads to an adverse employment action. This includes sexual harassment and other forms.
