In California, there are certain questions your potential employer or interviewer is not allowed to ask you. While it might be awkward letting your interviewer know you do not feel comfortable answering one of the questions below, it is your right not to answer. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if you feel like you have been asked an illegal question.

Here are a few of the topics which are off limits in interviews:

• Your religion
• Your ethnic background
• The number of children you have
• Whether you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant
• Your age
• Your health status

However, your potential employer or interviewer can ask you for your Social Security number, salary requirements, and other matters that you might consider private.

The experienced employment lawyers of Law Offices of David H. Greenberg can help you determine if you have been asked an illegal interview question and suffered discrimination as a result. Our skilled legal team might be able to assist you in protecting your rights. Call the Law Offices of Law Offices of David H.

California employees observe many different religions including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and many others. It is important for the employee to know that it is your employer’s duty to make reasonable accommodations for your religious beliefs and needs. For example, in a recent case involving an airline, the airline was sued for allegedly not allowing its employees to trade shifts in order to avoid working on specific days. One of the employees, a Jewish woman, was required to work after sundown on Fridays, even though she had shared the importance of recognizing the Sabbath (Shabbat) in her religion. The airline would not make reasonable accommodations to allow her to work other days.

The airline also allegedly did not hire a Christian man who in the interview process informed the airline what he could not work on Sunday mornings because he wanted to attend a church service. Both of these instances are examples of workplace religious discrimination. They are against the law. An experienced employment lawyer can help you if you are being discriminated against because of your religion.

Recently a car dealership was slapped with a lawsuit for allegedly sitting by while its employees were discriminating against two African American men. In California, discriminating against an employee because of that person’s race is against the law. Both federal and CA state law protect you, an employee, from being discriminated against because of your race, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender, or nationality.

The two men claim that other employees harassed and taunted them because of their skin color. While this discrimination was occurring, one of the affected men reported it to his boss, who did nothing to protect the victims of the discrimination and/or reprimand the harassers. In fact, the boss often watched and listened while other employees called the men racial slurs without doing anything to prevent the discrimination from occurring in the workplace.

In California, your employer must recognize your medical disability and work with you. If you suffer from chronic or severe anemia, a condition that develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells, your employer cannot discriminate against you because of your condition if your anemia has been diagnosed as a medical disability. Anemia is the most common blood condition in the US, affecting about 2.5 million people – many of them California workers. Symptoms of anemia — like fatigue — occur because organs aren’t getting enough oxygen.

Symptoms of anemia occur because organs aren’t getting enough oxygen and include:

• Quick to fatigue
• Loss of energy
• Difficulty concentrating
• Dizziness
• Pale skin
• Leg cramps
• Insomnia

If you suffer from anemia, or any other medical condition, and it has been determined to be a disability, your employer cannot discriminate against you. This means your employer cannot fire you, demote you, not provide you with reasonable accommodations for your disability, or not provide you with certain benefits.

If you work in the private sector (as in not for the CA or federal government) your employer might just be able to restrict how you express your feelings on politics in an effort to maintain a non-hostile work environment. However, even this regulation has its limitations. An experienced employment lawyer will be able to help you determine if your employer has crossed the line.

As an employee, you do not want to work in a hostile environment. Your employer might have the right to regulate your political expression, just as she would be able to address other forms of disruptive workplace activity in order to make sure the work place provides a safe, non-threatening environment. However, if your employer discriminates against you by demoting you, firing you, or not providing you with certain benefits, because of your political leanings, then he has taken the regulation too far and you need to speak with an employment attorney.

It’s almost election time. If you are a CA employee who believes you are or have been the victim of a hostile work environment or discrimination due to your political beliefs, call the knowledgeable employment attorneys at Law Offices of David H. Greenberg. Our skilled legal team might be able to assist you in protecting your rights. Call the Law Offices of Law Offices of David H. Greenberg at 1-888-204-1014 NOW for a free consultation regarding your legal rights or visit us at our website at www.discriminationattorney.com.

Recently, a woman sued her employer, Hollister Co., for back pay and damages and alleged that she was fired because she refused to wear pants or a skirt shorter than above the knee. The employee’s religion does not allow her to wear pants or skirts that are not knee length or longer. It is against CA and Federal law for an employer not to reasonably accommodate an employee for his or her religious beliefs, which can include an employee’s manner of dress when dictated by religion.

The Civil Rights Act protects all California employees from any type of discrimination, including hiring, firing, or not providing benefits, in the work place. Discrimination can be religious, as it was regarding this woman and her choice of dress, or it can be based on race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, and age. An experienced employment lawyer can help you determine if you have been discriminated against by your employer.

Under the California Labor Code, your employer is required to include certain information on your pay stub. This information is not elective — your employer must include it on each and every one of your pay checks or you might have a claim against your employer.

Here are the 9 items of information your employer must include on your paycheck:

• gross wages earned
• total hours you worked (unless properly exempt from overtime)
• the number of piece-rate units earned and any applicable piece rate if you are paid on a piece-rate basis
• all deductions
• net wages earned
• the inclusive dates of the period for which you are paid
• Your name and the last four digits of your social security number or employee identification number – not the entire social security number
• the name and address of your employer’s legal entity
• all applicable hourly rates in effect during the pay period and the corresponding number of hours worked at each hourly rate

If you are a CA employee and any one of these is not listed on your pay check, call the legal team of Law Offices of David H. Greenberg. Call Law Offices of David H. Greenberg at 1-888-204-1014 for a free consultation regarding your legal rights and to hear how one of our experienced employment lawyers may be able to help you.

California law requires that your employer give you time off to vote in the upcoming election if you do not have time to vote outside of your normal work schedule. The law provides for up to two hours of paid leave for the purposes of voting. Some employers may require that you tell them in advance that you need to take time off to vote. If your employer is not letting you take time off to vote, an experienced employment lawyer can help.

In California, your employer must follow certain guidelines under the ‘Time off to Vote’ provision. This includes a 10 day notice before the election which details the provisions for taking paid leave for the purpose of voting.

Remember, it is your right to vote. CA law says you can take as much time as you need to vote, but only 2 hours will be paid. If you are a California resident and your employer is not allowing you time off to vote, the skilled legal team of Law Offices of David H. Greenberg is here to help.
