Comprehensive Employment Law Services in San Bernardino
Lawyers for Justice, PC’s San Bernardino labor law attorneys handle all types of employment cases. When a worker is victimized by sexual harassment, wage theft, or another violation of employment law, it is important to seek legal representation to stop the abuse and secure meaningful compensation.
Some of the most common types of employment cases the workplace lawyers handle include:
Wrongful Termination
California is an “at-will” employment state, which means an employee can be fired without cause. However, the law does not permit letting an employee go for unlawful reasons, such as discrimination due to a protected characteristic, including:
- Race
- Gender
- Age (over 40)
- Disability
- Sexual Orientation
- Religion
If an employee is fired for a protected characteristic or for lawful behavior, such as reporting illegal conduct or taking medical leave, that can constitute wrongful termination. A San Bernardino labor law attorney can challenge a wrongful termination and get meaningful compensation.
Workplace Retaliation
If an employer punishes an employee for a legally protected action, such as reporting harassment or refusing to engage in illegal conduct, they could be practicing workplace retaliation.
Employment Discrimination
A worker must not be discriminated against in terms of hiring, firing, compensation, promotion, or hours over a protected characteristic. When employment discrimination occurs, the worker needs an employment attorney to fight for their rights.
Hostile Work Environment
If a worker experiences severe harassment or pervasive abuse due to a protected characteristic and the mistreatment impairs their ability to work effectively, they could be experiencing a hostile work environment.
Sexual Harassment
If a worker is subjected to unwanted advances, touching, comments, jokes, or gestures of a sexual nature in the workplace, it can be considered unlawful sexual harassment. A labor attorney can put a stop to the abuse.
Wage and Hour Violations
Wage and hour violations occur when an employer withholds an employee’s pay, underpays, improperly deducts from payment owed, or refuses earned overtime pay by misclassifying the worker. Wages and hours are determined by law and the terms of the employment contract. A violation of either is against the law.
Workplace Injury
California’s workers’ compensation laws mandate that when an employee suffers a workplace injury, the employer provides medical benefits and wage replacement.
When a worker suffers abuse in the workplace, statutory limitations and filing deadlines make it vital to take prompt action and consult a qualified labor law attorney.
