Defending Employees’ Rights

Everyone expects to be treated with respect and professionalism at work. Your working environment should be safe, your skills should be recognized, and your efforts should be rewarded. Unfortunately, not every workplace is fair, and many employees find themselves struggling to protect their rights.

Fighting for a Fair Workplace

Workplace discrimination and harassment are unfortunately all too common, and nobody deserves to work in a hostile work environment. Even worse, sometimes managers encourage these practices, whether actively or passively.

Our Los Angeles employment law firm knows how sensitive and complicated issues with your employer can be. We know that discrimination, sexual harassment, denied FMLA claims, and wage and hour claims are not only heartbreaking, they are illegal. If you think you might have a claim against a current or former employer, we can help you navigate the complexities of the legal system and ensure that you’re awarded the compensation you deserve. To get started, reach out to KSJM in Los Angeles and schedule your initial consultation today.

What Is Workplace Discrimination?

Workplace discrimination can take many forms. It most commonly takes place when an employer, labor union, or employment agency may show bias when you apply for a job or while you are working. If you believe that you have been discriminated against in your workplace, then you may be entitled to file an employment law claim. We offer a free attorney case review to discuss discrimination questions and help you decide whether or not you have a valid claim against a former or current employer. To prepare for that meeting, we’ll provide you with a discrimination questionnaire that can help you make sure you give us the right information.

Common Types of Discrimination That Workers May Experience Include:

Age Discrimination: California law states that it is illegal to harass or discriminate against any employee who is over the age of 40. This applies to businesses with 20 or more employees.
Disability Discrimination: You have rights under disability discrimination laws as long as you are otherwise qualified to perform your job duties. The Americans with Disabilities Act requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to applicants or employees with physical or mental limitations.
Pregnancy Discrimination: The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) protects pregnant employees from discrimination at work.
Racial and National Origin Discrimination: You have rights under federal law for racial discrimination based upon Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. You also have rights protecting you from discrimination based on your national origin.
Sex and Gender Discrimination: Gender harassment is also a form of sex discrimination, but does not need to be sexual in nature. We can identify if you have been discriminated against based on sex, gender, or sexual orientation. We can also guide you through sexual harassment claims.
General Harassment: There are various kinds of harassment that can take place at work. Our Los Angeles harassment lawyers have put together a guide that explains what to do after sexual harassment and other forms of workplace harassment.
