  • denying them the tips they earned
  • redistributing portions of their tips to employees were not eligible to receive tips
  • failing to pay proper overtime compensation when they worked more than 40 hours in a work week

If you are a California employee, do not let your employer take advantage of you in this way. CA and federal law protects your rights as an employee and an experienced employment lawyer can help you defend those rights.

PREGNANCY DISCRIMINATION ACT OF 1978

The Pregnancy Discrimination Act was an amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Under this Act, discrimination because of a woman’s pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions is unlawful sex discrimination. This Act applies to employers with 15 or more employees, including CA and local governments.

This law protects women in the workplace and states that women who are pregnant or experiencing pregnancy-related conditions must be treated in the same way as other employees with similar abilities or limitations. An experienced employment lawyer can go into detail about how this applies to you.

FEMALE AUTOWORKERS SUE FOR RETALIATION

Two female employees at a large automobile manufacturing company are suing their employer, alleging retaliation. In California, it is against the law for an employer to retaliate against an employee.

Reportedly, the manager did not look into their complaints and did nothing to fix the problem.

EMPLOYEE SUES FOR MALE ON MALE SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY

While we often hear about women being sexually harassed on the job, men can also be the victims of sexual harassment. In California, it is against the law for an employer to sexually harass a male or female employee or to allow a hostile work environment to exist by virtue of such conduct. Three men have filed a lawsuit against the Cheesecake Factory alleging that they were subjected to inappropriate behavior by other employees. Call an experienced employment attorney if you have been the victim of sexual harassment at your job.

According to the lawsuit, the men were allegedly grabbed and forced to endure simulated sex with their clothes on. Such unwelcome sexually-oriented conduct made the men feel uncomfortable and unsafe, and affected their ability to successfully do their jobs. Additionally, the men allege that their supervisors did nothing to stop this behavior and instead found it amusing.

CYSTIC FIBROSIS IN THE CA WORKPLACE

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States, many of them California employees. Caused by a defective, and hereditary gene and its protein product, the body produces unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections. This mucus also gets in the way of the pancreas and prevents natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.

If you are a California employee with CF, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because of your disease. If you believe you are the victim of workplace discrimination, you must first show that because of your CF you are disabled or regarded as disabled. An experienced employment lawyer can walk you through this process.

If you are a CA employee who suffers from Cystic Fibrosis and believe that because of your CF you have been the victim of discrimination at your job, call the legal team of Law Offices of David H.
