Comprehensive Employment Law Services in Los Angeles
LFJ’s Los Angeles employment lawyers handle a wide variety of workplace violations and disputes. Some of the most notable types of cases the firm handles include:
Wrongful Termination
In Los Angeles, wrongful termination occurs when an employer illegally fires an employee, violating state or federal employment laws or breaching contractual terms. Common reasons include firing based on discrimination (such as race, gender, or age), retaliation for reporting workplace violations, or refusing to engage in illegal activities.
California is an “at-will” employment state, meaning employers can generally terminate employment without cause, but they cannot do so for unlawful reasons. Speaking with an experienced employment attorney can help clarify whether a termination qualifies as wrongful under state or federal law. Employees affected by wrongful termination may be entitled to compensation, reinstatement, or other remedies.
Employment Discrimination
Employment discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee unfairly or less favorably based on a protected characteristic, such as:
- Race
- Age
- Gender
- Religion
- Disability
- Sexual Orientation
In California, state and federal laws protect Los Angeles employees from discrimination, ensuring equal treatment in hiring, promotions, compensation, and termination. Discriminatory practices can undermine workplace equality and are illegal under both the Civil Rights Act and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).
Hostile Work Environment
A hostile work environment arises when an employee experiences severe or pervasive harassment or mistreatment that disrupts their ability to work effectively. This can include offensive comments, intimidation, or actions that make the workplace feel threatening or abusive. In Los Angeles, a hostile work environment may violate workplace rights if the conduct is related to protected characteristics, such as race, gender, or religion, making it difficult for employees to perform their jobs without undue stress. A skilled employment lawyer can put a stop to the hostility or sue the employer for just compensation for the employee.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment includes unwanted advances, comments, or behavior of a sexual nature that create an intimidating or offensive work setting.
It can take the form of quid pro quo harassment, where employment benefits are contingent upon sexual favors, or a hostile environment due to pervasive inappropriate conduct. California law is stringent in protecting employees from sexual harassment, and workplace lawyers in Los Angeles can hold employers accountable for maintaining a safe and respectful workplace.
Wage and Hour Violations
Wage and hour violations occur when employers fail to comply with labor laws related to wages, overtime, breaks, or hours worked.
Common violations in Los Angeles include unpaid overtime, improper deductions, misclassification of employees, and failure to provide meal and rest breaks. These practices can prevent employees from receiving fair compensation; California’s labor laws provide strong protections to ensure that employees are properly paid and treated fairly.
Workplace Injury
Workplace injuries are physical or mental harm that employees suffer while performing job-related duties.
This can range from minor incidents to severe accidents or occupational illnesses due to unsafe conditions. California’s workers’ compensation laws provide medical benefits, wage replacement, and support to injured employees when a Los Angeles employment lawyer holds employers accountable for maintaining a safe work environment.
Workplace Retaliation
Workplace retaliation occurs when an employer punishes an employee for engaging in legally protected activities, such as reporting discrimination, harassment, or safety violations.
Retaliatory actions may include termination, demotion, or creating unfavorable working conditions. California law actively safeguards employees from retaliation, empowering them to exercise their rights with confidence and maintain a fair and lawful workplace environment. Labor lawyers use both state and federal laws to enforce fairness in the workplace and win compensation for their clients.
