Types of Employment Law Claims
In California, employers can employ and fire most staff members at will. However, they can not fire or take adverse action against workers for factors that breach the law or public policy. For instance, a business can not fire workers who defended their rights if the company took part in discrimination or harassment in the workplace. However, companies will hardly ever admit the true, illegal reason for a termination or other adverse action, developing an uphill struggle for workers.
Employees are likewise lawfully safeguarded from different types of discrimination and harassment. In California, workers have protections under all of the exact same federal antidiscrimination laws that protect employees around the country, consisting of the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), employment amongst many others. California employees likewise have extra rights under the Unruh Civil Rights Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). If you're a member of a protected class who has actually suffered a hostile workplace, you might be able to sue versus your company for discrimination.
Some common work law claims include:
- Wrongful termination
Discrimination.
- Retaliation for a protected activity.
- Whistleblower retaliation.
Unwanted sexual advances.
