Chino Hills is known for having a highly educated, professional workforce. Many residents are scientists, professionals, or managers. The city also has a strong commercial appeal, attracting national retailers and businesses due to its high median household income and location at the intersection of four Southern California counties.
In 2023, a total of $116,506,424 was awarded in settlements to those who filed complaints with the California Civil Rights Department.
The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) is a California law that protects people from discrimination and harassment in the workplace and in housing.
Under FEHA, it is illegal for an employer to discriminate against someone because of their:
If you believe you’ve faced discrimination because of a protected trait, it’s vital to hire an employment lawyer to help make sure your rights are protected throughout the length of legal proceedings. Employment law cases are typically overseen at the Rancho Cucamonga Superior Court, located at 8303 Haven Avenue in Rancho Cucamonga.
Retaliation happens when an employee engages in an activity protected by law and the employer punishes them for it. These activities include reporting unsafe conditions, filing a wage complaint, or taking legally allowed leave. Punishments can include:
Complaints of retaliation generally must be filed within one year of the retaliatory action. Once a complaint is filed, the Labor Commissioner reviews it and then assigns a Deputy Labor Commissioner to investigate.
The investigator is neutral and interviews the complainant, employer, and relevant witnesses. After the investigation, the Labor Commissioner issues a determination letter if there is evidence of retaliation.
They’ll then order remedies such as reinstatement, back pay, or removal of negative records. Penalties of up to $10,000 per violation may also be applied. Employers who fail to comply may face court enforcement actions. If there is insufficient evidence, the complaint may be dismissed, but the employee may still pursue a civil case with their lawyer.
When you come into our office for your free consultation, you’ll be treated with respect from the first handshake. We don’t take workers’ rights violations lightly and understand the hardships that come with them. You don’t deserve to deal with more stress than you already have.
Let our skilled team take on the brunt of the legal work so you can focus on your mental well-being. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we secure compensation for your case.
To prove you were fired or treated unfairly because of discrimination, you need evidence that your employer acted based on a protected characteristic covered by law. You should gather documents, emails, performance reviews, or witness statements that show that your employer treated others differently in similar situations. Timing is important. If you were fired soon after reporting harassment, requesting accommodations, or exercising another legal right, this can support your claim.
Employers must have a clear, written sexual harassment prevention policy, communicate it to all employees, and provide options for reporting that do not require going directly to a supervisor. Employers with five or more employees must provide sexual harassment prevention training within six months of hire and every two years.
Workplace violations are extremely common in California. For example, in 2024, 46% of California employees who worked shifts of 3.5 to 6 hours reported paid rest break violations. 55% of workers with shifts of 6 to 10 hours reported the same violation. This means that workers are not being allowed to sit down and take their mandatory breaks. This is a baseline law being broken, meaning that more severe violations are common as well.
The Family and Medical Leave Act allows employees who work for California employers to take unpaid leave while keeping their jobs. This act also allows them to maintain group health insurance. Employees can take up to 12 weeks of leave every year for reasons such as caring for a newborn within one year, adopting a child, caring for a relative with a serious health condition, or if the employee has a serious health condition that prevents them from working.
