Southern California's Employment Law Attorneys
Your job is one of the most important things your life. It provides you the means to pay your mortgage and support your family. Your job may also be an important part of who your identity. Because our jobs are so important to us, the federal government and the state of California have passed laws to protect people from issues such as harassment or discrimination while we are at work.
In California, your employee rights are secured by the Fair Employment and Housing Act. This law protects you from adverse actions by your employer, including:
- Discrimination based on gender, age sex, race, disability, national origin or religion.
- Sexual harassment
- Failure to accommodate a disability or health condition
- Retaliation for union activities or for reporting discrimination or sexual harassment, or an illegal act.
- Wage and hour claims such as failure to pay overtime or commissions.
If you are a victim of unfair treatment at work, call the Orange County law firm of Spray Gould & Bowers LLP for a free and confidential case evaluation. Our lawyers handle many employment law cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that you pay no legal fees unless we are successful in recovering compensation for you.
California Fair Employment and Housing Act
The California Fair Employment and Housing Act protects you from unfair actions at work. It covers many of the same types of workplace issues addressed by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Equal Pay Act, and the Rehabilitation Act, which are enforced by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. California's Fair Employment and Housing Act often provides more protection to employees than Title VII.
