CHRON’S DISEASE IN THE CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE

Many CA employees suffer from Chron’s disease. Chron’s disease is a lifelong inflammatory bowel disease where parts of the digestive tract get swollen and have deep sores, or ulcers. While doctors do not know what causes Chron’s, they believe that it is hereditary, meaning that it runs in families. If you, or someone you love, suffer from Chron’s disease and have been discriminated against by an employer as a result, call an experienced employment attorney today.

In CA, it is against the law for an employer to discriminate against an employee because he or she suffers from a recognized medical disability. This means that if you are deemed to have a medical disability, your employer cannot prevent you from taking reasonably amounts of time off for doctor’s appointments. In addition, your employer must provide you with reasonable accommodations for your disability.

If you work in California and believe that because of your disability that you have been the victim of medical disability discrimination at your job, call the legal team of Law Offices of David H. Greenberg. Call Law Offices of David H. Greenberg at 1-888-204-1014 to hear how one of our skilled employment lawyers may be able to help you. Your consultation is free!

LOS ANGELES COP WINS SETTLEMENT AGAINST LAPD

In California, it is your right as an employee to report instances of improper or illegal behavior in your workplace. When a Los Angeles police officer stood up for his female co-worker, who was the recipient of lewd jokes and other types of sexual harassment, the department veteran was ostracized by his co-workers and managers after he complained to his supervisors of the illegal activity taking place at work. Additionally, he was demoted and assigned a desk job.

As a result of standing up for his rights as a CA employee and taking the LAPD to court, the police officer won $3.6 million in damages. This award was the second multimillion-dollar jury verdict in the last three months resulting from retaliation claims at the LAPD.

CA EMPLOYEES MUST RECEIVE PAY FOR THE HOURS THEY WORK, INCLUDING OVERTIME FOR NON-EXEMPT EMPLOYEES

In CA, it is illegal for your employer to violate CA labor laws. When a leather goods company was recently determined to have inappropriately docked its employees wages and forced the employees to work overtime without paying them for the extra hours, it was forced to pay $850,000 in damages to the workers. A skilled employment lawyer might be able to win you a large settlement if your employer has violated CA labor laws.

CA law states that certain employees must receive extra pay for any hours that they work over time. If you qualify as a non-exempt employee, you might be able to receive:

  • One and one-half times your regular rate or pay for all hours worked more than eight hours

CHINESE DELIVERYMEN SUE THEIR EMPLOYER FOR WAGE VIOLATIONS

In California, the minimum wage is $8 an hour. This means in most cases your employer must pay you at least $8 per hour worked. A few restaurants were recently sued for only paying their employees $2/hour. The deliverymen were all Chinese immigrants and worked up to 13 hours a day, 6 to seven days each week.

The judge awarded the employees $4.6 million in back pay and damages. The judge also found that in addition to paying their employees well below the minimum wage, the employer would often illegally deduct pay when the deliverymen committed minor infractions like letting the restaurant door slam on their way out or failing to log in a delivery.

CA EMPLOYERS CANNOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST AN EMPLOYEE BECAUSE HE HAS CANCER

In California, if you have a documented medical disability, such as cancer, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you. Cancer causes about 13% of all deaths in the US and occurs when a group of cells display uncontrolled growth, invade the tissue and sometimes metastasize. Nearly all cancers are caused by abnormalities in the genetic material of the affected cells.

If you suffer from any type of cancer and have informed your employer of your medical disability, your employer must make reasonable accommodations for your disability. These accommodations include allowing you to miss work for treatments and other medical appointments.

If you are a CA employee who suffers from cancer and believe that because of your cancer you have been the victim of medical discrimination at your job, call the legal team of Law Offices of David H. Greenberg at 1-888-204-1014. Our skilled employment lawyers will give you a free consultation regarding your legal rights.
