Employment law cases can take many forms and involve employees from any industry, public entity, or government agency. They often fall into one of several categories, which include:
No matter what type of case you have, we can help you find a resolution that with bring you justice. In many cases, our clients find that just having an employment lawyer on their side will start a discussion that leads to a positive outcome.
Discrimination in the workplace can take many different forms. That said, in California, workers are protected against discrimination by state and federal law. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibits employers from discriminating against employees based on certain characteristics, including race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, marital status, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, age, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition (cancer or genetic characteristics), or genetic information.
If you have been the victim of workplace discrimination, we’ll investigate your claim for free. If we feel you have a valid claim, we’ll work to negotiate a settlement with your employer. Most of these cases do not go to trial.
One of our experienced Los Angeles employment attorneys can help you determine whether you have a claim against your employer and guide you through the process.
Harassment is a form of discrimination. It can consist of unwanted and inappropriate comments, insults, threats, or physical assaults that your employer or co-workers subject you to because you belong to a protected class.
This can include sexual harassment, where an employee is targeted because of their sex or must accept unwanted requests for a sexual relationship as a condition of their work.
If your employer has allowed this type of harassment to create a hostile work environment for you or has made it a condition of your employment, you may have a legal claim.
Employment law in California protects your right to be paid for the hours you work, including overtime. If your employer is not paying you for overtime hours, you may want to learn more about CA workers’ rights.
Additionally, workers in California are entitled to rest and meal breaks during their shifts. If you are not given breaks, this may be considered workplace discrimination. An experienced employment law firm can help you understand your rights and options in this situation.
If you have made complaints to management about hour violations and filed a complaint with human resources, it may be time to seek help from a CA employment lawyer. RD Law Group has years of experience with employment law claims.
Employees are entitled to many kinds of leave once they have met certain requirements. The law allows you to request leave for the following reasons:

Your employer must provide you with an accurate paycheck for all your hours worked according to the terms of your employment and the applicable wage and hour laws.
If you have worked over 40 hours in a week, then your employer must pay you time and a half for that extra time. If they do not compensate you correctly, you may have a wage and hour claim against your employer.
California is an “at-will employment” state. This means you may quit your job at any time for any reason, or your boss can terminate your employment at any time for any lawful reason. However, your boss cannot lawfully fire you for a discriminatory or retaliatory reason.
If your employer is ignoring your efforts or retaliating against you for reporting a complaint, you need to retain an employment attorney to protect your rights. It is illegal for employers to retaliate against you for reporting their illegal actions.
