California Employment Lawyer
If you work for a living, almost everything you do is bound by employment laws. Your employer must provide a safe working environment. You must be paid at least minimum wage. If you are injured at work, your employer must ensure you receive workers’ compensation benefits. You should not have to work in a hostile environment where discrimination and harassment is rampant.
Indeed, there are a lot of laws that need to be followed at the federal, state, and even local levels. But sometimes employers may not follow all these rules. Maybe they’re not aware of them. Perhaps they just want to save money and don’t care how their employees are affected.

Common Employment Law Issues
The workplace may seem relatively safe, but there are various issues that can occur, such as the following:
- Harassment/discrimination. Discrimination occurs when a person is treated unfairly due to their race, gender, sexual orientation, pregnancy status, age, or disability. Harassment is a little different, as it refers to unwelcome conduct such as offensive jokes, threats, insults, and ridicules. It may also include sexual harassment, which includes unwelcome sexual advances and requests for sexual favors.
- Safety issues. You’re entitled to a safe workplace. This means you should be able to report any injuries or illnesses when they occur without fear of retaliation. You should also be given the safety equipment you need to do your job and be trained in a language that you understand.
