Employment Law Cases We Handle in Burbank

If your situation involves any of the following, our firm may be able to help:

• Wrongful termination: California is an at-will employment state, but your employer still cannot fire you for an illegal reason, including retaliation for reporting discrimination, harassment, or other wrongdoing.
• Workplace discrimination: California and federal law prohibit unfair treatment based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, pregnancy, disability, religion, national origin, and sexual orientation.
• Sexual harassment: Sexual harassment in the workplace is prohibited under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act, whether it comes from a supervisor, manager, or coworker whose conduct your employer failed to address.
• Retaliation: Employees have the legal right to report unlawful, harassing, or discriminatory conduct without facing termination, demotion, or other adverse treatment as a result.
• Whistleblower retaliation: Workers who report unlawful activity such as safety violations, wage theft, or fraud are protected under California law, and adverse treatment for doing so may give rise to a claim.
• Wage and hour violations: Employers who fail to pay earned wages, deny overtime, or withhold required meal and rest breaks are in direct violation of state and federal wage laws.
• Hostile work environment: Harassment does not need to be sexual in nature to be unlawful. Severe or pervasive mistreatment based on a protected characteristic that interferes with your ability to do your job may be grounds for a claim.
• FMLA and CFRA violations: Employers cannot deny qualified leave, retaliate against employees for taking it, or fail to reinstate them to an equivalent position upon their return.

FAQs

What Are Some Forms of Compensation Available in an Employment Law Case?

The compensation available in an employment law case depends on the specific facts and circumstances of your claim. Common forms of compensation may include back pay for wages lost as a result of the violation, compensation for lost benefits, and, in cases involving particularly egregious employer conduct, punitive damages. Our attorneys review every case individually to identify and pursue the full range of compensation that may apply to your situation.

Can I File an Employment Law Claim Even If I Have Already Quit My Job?

Yes. Your rights as an employee do not disappear because you resigned or were terminated. If you have a valid claim, you can still pursue it with the assistance of an attorney regardless of your current employment status.

What Should I Do If My Employer Retaliates Against Me After I File a Claim?

If your employer retaliates against you after you file an employment claim, it is important to speak with an employment attorney right away. Deadlines in these cases can move quickly, and prompt action allows you to pursue the maximum compensation available for both the original violation and the retaliation that followed.
