Types of Employment Law Claims

In California, companies can employ and fire most staff members at will. However, they can not fire or take negative action against employees for factors that break the law or public policy. For example, a business can not fire staff members who stood up for their rights if the employer engaged in discrimination or harassment in the office. However, companies will rarely confess the true, illegal factor for a termination or other negative action, creating an uphill fight for staff members.

Employees are also legally safeguarded from various kinds of discrimination and employment harassment. In California, workers have securities under all of the same federal antidiscrimination laws that safeguard employees around the country, including the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), amongst various others. California workers also have extra rights under the Unruh Civil Liberty Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). If you're a member of a protected class who has actually suffered a hostile workplace, you might have the ability to sue versus your employer for discrimination.

Some common employment law claims include:

- Wrongful termination
Discrimination.
- Retaliation for a secured activity.
- Whistleblower retaliation.
Unwanted sexual advances.
- Employer misbehavior.
- Contract conflicts.
