#Labor and Employment - Broslavsky and Weinman, LLP
Labor and employment claims cover a wide variety of matters between employees and employers. The employment lawyers at Broslavsky Weinman have years of experience handling all aspects of labor and employment matters on behalf of plaintiffs and small businesses. Some of the more common complaints we handle include:
- Sexual Harassment If you have been the target of sexual harassment, or have been subjected to a workplace filled with sexual jokes, innuendo, or comments, your rights may have been violated.
- Sex Pregnancy Discrimination Employers are prohibited from treating employees differently because of their gender or discriminating against employees due to pregnancy or medical conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth.
- Disability Discrimination If you have a temporary or permanent disability, an employer cannot treat you differently and/or refuse to provide reasonable accommodations.
- Race Discrimination Being treated differently because of your race, ethnicity or national origin is unlawful. If race, ethnicity or national origin has played a role in how you have been treated, you may have a claim.
- Age Discrimination Employees over 40 years old are protected from being treated differently or being forced out of work as a result of their age.
- Wrongful Termination Wrongful termination occurs when a person is fired or forced to quit in violation of any law protecting employee rights, or an existing agreement between the employee and the employer.
- Whistleblower If you have reported or complained about illegal conduct of your employer, you may be protected against retaliation as a whistleblower.
- Breach of Contract Fraud If your employer breaches the terms of your written or oral contract, you may have a breach of contract claim. If your employer did not comply with its obligations under the contract or convinced you to take the job by making false promises, you may also have an action for fraud.
- Wage Hour Violations Wage theft is one of the largest problems in California, depriving workers of earned pay. Wage theft includes not being properly compensated for straight time or overtime, being denied meal periods or rest breaks, or being improperly classified as an independent contractor.
We understand that resolving a matter quickly and without litigation may sometimes be in the best interests of the client. However, when litigation commences and trial may be necessary, our goal remains the same: achieve the best result possible.
