Employee Rights
Employment Law is a special area of law in that employment attorneys are charged with protecting the rights of a particularly vulnerable group of people – employees.

If you or someone you know has been discriminated against, sexually harassed, or wrongfully terminated, you should contact an experienced employment attorney. Please call 1-888-JACOBY-1 or e-mail our Employment Lawyers in Southern California at Jacoby & Meyers today to schedule a free initial consultation.

Wrongful Termination/Discrimination
If any employee has a contract with the employer, the employee probably cannot be fired without just cause. Contracts can be written or implied. A common way for an employee to have a written contract is to be in a union. If the employer fires an employee because of race or another illegal reason, that is "wrongful termination". If the employer fires the employee in violation of a contract, that is not, in legal terms, “wrongful termination" it is "breach of contract."

Employers cannot discriminate against employees on the basis of age, race, sex, national origin, disability, or a variety of other reasons. Employers cannot retaliate against an employee because he or she has "whistle blown" which is reporting illegal activity of the employer. They also cannot retaliate against an employee for engaging in other protected activities, such as filing workers' compensation claims.

If you feel you’ve been fired due to one of these factors, contact our Wrongful Termination Attorneys serving Los Angeles at Jacoby & Meyers for a free consultation about your case.

Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is one of the most complicated areas of employment law. Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. If you submit to or reject this conduct, your employer cannot explicitly or implicitly affect your employment, unreasonably in any way. Sexual harassment can occur in a variety of circumstances.

Wage & Hour Claims
Are you being cheated by your employer?

The law in California says that non-exempt employees who work overtime get paid for it. But many companies try to get around this. They improperly classify an employee as a manager, or outside salesperson, or independent contractor so they don’t have to pay extra for overtime.

Here are some other ways: Do you take morning and afternoon breaks and at least 1/2 hour for lunch? Some companies discourage this or don’t even allow it. And some companies make their employees buy the company’s clothes or other products.

Well, all that’s against the law in California and if it is happening to you, email or call Jacoby & Meyers now for an experienced employment lawyer in Los Angeles or anywhere in Southern California.
