In California, individuals are protected from certain conditions or behaviors in their place of work by the state’s employment laws. These laws also govern the legal actions an individual may take to remedy disputes or issues that arise with their employer. Employment law provides safeguards to defend individuals against acts of harassment, discrimination, or mistreatment.
In California, these laws can be complex. Filing claims against employers or co-workers can be a difficult process to navigate, especially if you do not have a full understanding of the laws involved in these situations.

The most common forms of employment law violations we represent in Pasadena include the following:
Employers in Pasadena have the duty to pay their workers fairly and fully as written in their employment contract. They also have the responsibility to allow these employees the time needed to take the required rest and meal breaks without any unreasonable interruption. If you have been forced to work through breaks without pay or have been turned down for necessary overtime pay after working overtime, reach out to a lawyer.
Though California operates as an at-will state, meaning employers may fire you for any reason or no reason at all, these employers cannot fire you for an illegal reason. These can include reporting worker violations, discrimination, or harassment. If your termination may have been an act of retaliation, it is important that you reach out to the offices of Nosratilaw, A Professional Law Corporation, for legal assistance.
Under various federal and state laws and acts, such as the California Fair Employment and Housing Act and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, employees are protected from discrimination based on certain characteristics or traits. These include:
Individuals may also suffer harassment at their Pasadena place of work based on their protected characteristics or personal traits for much the same reasons they may suffer discrimination. In some cases, this harassment might become so severe that individuals are unable to perform the necessary duties of their employment.
In some scenarios, an employer might incorrectly classify a worker as an independent contractor rather than a company employee to:

At Nosratilaw, A Professional Law Corporation, we believe that no one deserves to suffer sexual harassment at their Pasadena place of work.

You may have faced retaliation in the workplace for reporting or refusing to participate in certain illegal behaviors or acts that would violate your or another party’s employment rights. If so, you could bring your employer to justice and seek compensation for the unfair retaliation you have faced.
How much compensation you can receive for an employment law violation ultimately depends on the nature and severity of the violations. In most cases, the most common forms of compensation available are those for:
In rare cases, you could also be awarded punitive damages.
Workplace discrimination can take several forms in California. You may suffer termination or demotion based on certain characteristics, such as age or disability. You may also be passed over for a position or promotion due to these protected characteristics. If you may have been the victim of workplace discrimination, it is important that you reach out to an attorney today.
In California, you do have the ability, under certain situations, to sue your employer for a hostile work environment, which can include the excessive stress or anxiety you suffer as a result of having to work under these conditions. When acts of harassment or discrimination cause your workplace to become unsafe, you can file a claim for compensation.
It can be difficult to estimate exactly how long it might take to settle an employment law claim in California. Each claim is vastly different and will be handled in different ways. Factors such as the complexity of your violation case, the cooperation of the parties involved, and the availability of the courts can all influence how long it will take to settle your case.
If you have suffered a violation of one or more of your California and federal employment rights, it’s time to bring your employer to justice and pursue the compensation you deserve. Our team can analyze your case and formulate a strategy to hold your employer or co-workers accountable. Contact the offices of Nosratilaw, A Professional Law Corporation, today.
