  • Types of Employment Law Violations

    In the complex landscape of California employment law, understanding your rights as an employee and the labor standards of your state is crucial. Types of employment law violations can include:

    Discrimination and Harassment: No one should have to endure discrimination or harassment. California and federal law prohibits employment based on factors such as race, gender, age, religion, or disability. 

    Wage and Hour Violations: According to the fair labor standards act, employees deserve fair compensation for their time and efforts. Violations in wage and hour laws, including unpaid overtime pay, misclassification, and minimum wage violations, undermine the financial well-being of workers.

    Retaliation: Retaliatory actions against employees who assert their rights or report misconduct are strictly prohibited. If you've experienced adverse consequences for speaking up, you may be a victim of unlawful retaliation.

    Wrongful Termination: Employment is meant to be a mutually beneficial relationship. Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired without just cause, often violating employment contracts or labor laws.

    Unsafe Working Conditions: Employers have a responsibility to provide a safe working environment. Violations of workplace safety standards can lead to accidents, injuries, and long-term health issues for employees.

    Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Violations: Employees have the right to take leave for qualifying family or medical reasons without fear of repercussions. Violations of the FMLA, such as denying leave or retaliating against employees who take it, are serious offenses.

    Failure to Accommodate Disabilities: Employers are obligated to make reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities to ensure equal opportunities. Discrimination based on disabilities and failure to provide necessary accommodations are clear violations.

    California labor and employment law can certainly be complicated. If you believe you've experienced any form of employment law violation, our dedicated team of employment lawyers in California is here to advocate for you and to handle employment and labor violations. Morgan & Morgan offers legal representation in California and across the country, so reach out today with your employment case.

  • Veterans Rights According to California Employment Law

    The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) safeguards the employment rights of current and former members of the Armed Forces. Under USERRA, employers may not discriminate against military personnel with regard to hiring, firing, re-employment, promotion, or benefits.
