Experienced Trial Attorneys Vindicating Your Rights

Employment And Labor Law Representation In Southern California

At Reisman & Reisman, Attorneys at Law, our attorneys combine over 20 years of experience helping individuals who have been harmed by wrongful termination, sexual harassment, discrimination, whistleblower retaliation, wage and hour violations, Equal Pay Act violations, and other labor code violations.

“Can I Deal With An Employment Claim On My Own?”

For claims of unlawful discrimination, harassment or termination, you can file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) and request that they investigate. However, we recommend that you contact us first. If we take on your case, we will contact these administrative agencies for you and aggressively assert your rights.

Our firm has handled hundreds of cases throughout Southern California, and we have proven our ability to prevail against employers who have violated the rights of employees. We handle it all from inception to appeals in cases stemming from:

  • Employment discrimination: Issues related to wrongful termination or harassment based on membership in a protected class such as race, sex, age or national origin.
  • Sexual harassment: Unwanted sexual advances that create a hostile work environment.
  • Wrongful termination: Being fired due to illegal discrimination or retaliation.
  • Illegal retaliation: When a supervisor takes negative employment action against you in response to a lawful action you have taken such as reporting their misconduct.
  • Medical leave and disability accommodations: When an employer denies leave or retaliates against you for taking leave or requiring an accommodation.

These are just a few examples of the complex employment law issues we address. Our attorneys have extensive experience in all aspects of California labor law and are committed to protecting your rights in the workplace. We understand that each case is unique, and we tailor our approach to meet your specific needs and circumstances.

If you’re facing any of these issues or have questions about your employment situation, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Our team is ready to provide the guidance and representation you need to effectively navigate your employment law concerns.

Employment Law FAQs: What California Workers Need To Know

At Reisman & Reisman, Attorneys at Law, we’re passionate about protecting workers’ rights in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California. Our clients often come to us with pressing questions about their workplace situations. To help you better understand your rights and options, we’ve addressed some of the most common inquiries we receive:

What kind of evidence is most effective in supporting my employment law case?

Strong evidence can include written documentation such as emails, text messages or company policies that demonstrate unfair treatment. Witness statements from colleagues, performance reviews and any records of complaints you’ve made to HR or supervisors are also valuable. We recommend documenting incidents as they occur and preserving all relevant communications.

What are the potential outcomes of my case, and am I entitled to a settlement under California labor laws?

Outcomes vary depending on the specifics of your case. Potential results may include reinstatement, back pay, compensation for emotional distress or policy changes within the company. While we can’t guarantee specific outcomes, California labor laws provide robust protections for workers, and we strive to secure fair compensation for our clients.

How does California law protect me from workplace discrimination and harassment?

Our state’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) provides comprehensive safeguards for workers. This law shields employees from unfair treatment based on a wide range of personal characteristics, including but not limited to racial background, religious beliefs, age, gender identity, sexual orientation and disability status. FEHA goes beyond just banning discrimination; it also forbids workplace harassment and mandates that employers actively work to create an environment free from discriminatory practices and harassment. As your attorneys, we can help you understand how these protections apply to your specific situation and guide you through the process of asserting your rights under FEHA.

In California, how does sick leave work, and what if my employer doesn’t provide any?

Under California law, most employees are entitled to paid sick leave. Employees generally accrue one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, with a minimum of 24 hours or three days per year. If your employer doesn’t provide sick leave as required by law, they may be in violation of labor regulations, and you may have grounds for a complaint.

If you’re facing employment issues or have further questions about your rights in the workplace, we encourage you to contact our firm.
