California's employment laws often provide greater protections than federal statutes. For instance, the state's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) offers broader coverage against discrimination, applying to employers with five or more employees, compared to the federal threshold of 15 employees under Title VII.​

Frequently Asked Questions About

Employment Law.

Understanding your rights and obligations in the workplace is vital. Here are some common questions:

  • What constitutes workplace discrimination?

    Workplace discrimination involves treating an employee unfavorably due to characteristics such as race, gender, age, religion, disability, or national origin.​

  • How do I know if I'm being paid fairly?

    Fair pay is determined by compliance with minimum wage laws, overtime regulations, and ensuring equal pay for equal work regardless of gender or other protected statuses.​

  • What should I do if I experience harassment at work?

    Document the incidents, report them to your employer according to company policy, and consult with an employment law attorney to understand your rights and options.​

  • Can my employer fire me without cause?

    California is an at-will employment state, meaning employers can terminate employees without cause, provided the reason is not illegal, such as discrimination or retaliation.​

  • What are my rights regarding workplace safety?

    Employees have the right to a safe working environment. Employers must comply with OSHA standards to prevent workplace hazards.
