OVERTIME

Let my San Diego Overtime firm assist you with your Overtime Claim. Every Employer in California must pay its employees overtime, unless an exemption applies. The duty to pay overtime is enunciated in Labor Code section 510. Overtime compensation laws serve the dual purpose of inducing the employer to reduce the hours of work and to employ more (individuals) and of compensating the employees for the burden of a long workweek. Overtime laws serve to spread employment throughout the workforce by putting financial pressure on the employer, and to protect employees in a relatively weak bargaining position against the evil of overwork.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT

Under California law, all forms of sexual harassment are prohibited. Sexual Harassment is forbidden under Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), specifically under Government Code section 12940. Federal law, specifically Title VII, prohibits discrimination and harassment.

WRONGFUL TERMINATION

An employer does not have complete freedom to fire you. You have rights. Your employer may not terminate you for an illegal reason. Even if your employment is at will, your employer may not terminate you when termination violates public policy. For example, your employer may not terminate you because of your age, race, pregnancy, sex, or medical condition. Also, your employer may not retaliate against you for opposing harassment or discrimination in work place.

PREGNANCY DISCRIMINATION

It is illegal for an employer to discriminate against you because you are pregnant. Discrimination can take several forms including refusing to hire, termination, denying promotion and job benefits.

DISCRIMINATION BASED ON SEXUAL ORIENTATION

California law prohibits discrimination or harassment based on sexual orientation or perceived sexual orientation. This includes heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality or transsexual/ transgender.
