Employment Law Areas
Wrongful Termination
While California is an at-will employment state, employers may not fire employees for illegal motives such as discrimination or retaliation.
Retaliation
California law prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who engage in legally protected activity.
Whistleblower Claims
California whistleblower laws protect employees who report unlawful conduct or refuse to participate in illegal activity.
Discrimination and Harassment
Harassment is unlawful when conduct based on a protected characteristic is severe enough to create a hostile or abusive work environment.
Wage and Hour Violations
Employee Misclassification
A common violation under California law. Employers often misclassify workers to avoid overtime, breaks, and payroll taxes.
