As a dedicated employment law attorney in San Diego, I’m committed to defending the rights of all workers in California, regardless of their citizenship status. Whether you’re facing workplace discrimination, wage disputes or harassment, I’m here to help you navigate the complex world of employment law.
California’s Strong Worker Protections
California is known for its robust employment laws, often providing stronger protections than federal regulations. These laws cover different aspects of the employment relationship, including:
- Minimum wage and overtime pay
- Meal and rest breaks
- Workplace safety
- Anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies
- Leave entitlements
- Employment contracts
Understanding these protections is important for employers and employees to maintain a fair and productive workplace.
Understanding Your Rights As A Worker
It’s crucial to understand that in California, most employment rights apply to all workers, regardless of their immigration status. Whether you’re a U.S. citizen, a documented immigrant or an undocumented worker, you have the right to:
- Be paid for all hours worked
- Work in a safe environment
- Be free from discrimination and harassment
- Report violations without fear of retaliation
By knowing and asserting these rights, you can help ensure a just and equitable work environment for yourself and your colleagues.
Common Employment Issues
I frequently assist clients with issues such as:
- Unpaid wages or overtime
- Wrongful termination
- Workplace discrimination based on age, gender, race or other protected characteristics
- Sexual harassment
- Denial of meal or rest breaks
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s critical to seek legal advice to protect your rights and explore your options.
