We understand businesses may need to terminate employees for valid reasons, like poor performance or misconduct. However, firing someone due to discrimination or other illegal reasons is wrongful termination. If an employer cannot justify the termination, it may be against the law.
Employers in California cannot discriminate based on gender, religion, origin, disability, or other non-work-related factors. Discrimination may include unequal pay, exclusion, denied benefits, or favoritism. A Los Angeles employment lawyer can help.
Harassment involves inappropriate actions or behavior targeting an individual, often creating discomfort or hostility. In the workplace, it can include bullying, sexual harassment, verbal abuse, and cyber harassment. We handle cases involving supervisors, coworkers, subordinates, and even third parties like clients.
Employees are legally entitled to fair compensation, including overtime, bonuses, and breaks. Some employers may misclassify workers to avoid providing benefits. If your rights are violated, you can file a lawsuit.
Whistleblowers play a vital role in maintaining workplace integrity but often face retaliation. In California, laws protect whistleblowers from backlash for reporting fraud, legal violations, or threats to public safety. At Jay S. Rothman & Associates, we have a proven track record of defending whistleblowers against wrongful termination, harassment, and discrimination. Contact us to explore your legal options.
Employees often hesitate to speak up or take legal action against employers due to fear of retaliation, like being fired or unfairly treated. However, the law protects workers who assert their rights, report illegal conduct, or participate in workplace investigations.
