Practice Areas
Wrongful Termination
In California most employment relationships are governed by what is known as “at-will” employment. This means that employees can be terminated at any given time without any notice, for any reason or no reason as long as that reason is not discriminatory or otherwise illegal.
Retaliatory Discharge
Often employees may find themselves in tough situations because they chose to speak out against their employers. More often than not, employees will be subject to unfair punishment if they report cases of sexual harassment, racial discrimination or other workplace grievances.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual Harassment is still one of the most prevalent issues in the workplace. Gender bias and inappropriate behavior remains common in the workplace ,and often goes untold.
Racial Discrimination
Despite the fact that Federal and California law protects employees from discrimination based on color, race, ethnicity, nationality and ancestry, discrimination in the workplace remains an issue in modern society.
Age Discrimination
Age discrimination is when your employer takes an adverse employment action (i.e., termination, demotion, failure to promote) based substantially on your age. To prevail on a claim for age discrimination, you must show that your age was a substantial motivating factor in your employer’s decision.
Gender Discrimination
California and Federal laws prohibit discrimination based on gender. At the end of the day, it does not matter who the perpetrator is –if you are being discriminated against because of your gender, it is illegal. If you feel like you have been placed in such a position, you should consult a gender discrimination attorney at Falakassa Law, P.C.
Meal and Rest Period Violations
Under the California Labor Code, every employer is required by law to allow meal periods and rest periods to his/her workers.
Unpaid Overtime
Under California law, if an employee works more than 8 hours in a work day or 40 hours in a week, he/she is entitled to be compensated at one and a half times the regular rate of pay.
Minimum Wage Violations
Under California law, minimum wage is the lowest level of hourly, weekly or monthly pay that is legally required to be paid to employees.
