Meningitis is a serious, life-threatening condition caused by inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. Many CA employees suffer from meningitis.

EQUAL PAY ACT IN LA COUNTY AND CALIFORNIA

In 1963, Congress passed the Equal Pay Act, an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which was intended to abolish differences in wages between men and women. Unequal pay for the same job is an example of sex, or gender discrimination. According to the Act, your California employer is not allowed to discriminate against you because of your gender for the following reasons:

  • It depresses wages and living standards for employees necessary for their health and efficiency
  • It prevents the maximum utilization of the available labor resources
  • It tends to cause labor disputes, thereby burdening, affecting, and obstructing commerce
  • It burdens commerce and the free flow of goods in commerce
  • It constitutes an unfair method of competition

If you are a CA employee who believes you have been receiving unequal pay because of your gender, call the knowledgeable employment attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP. Our skilled legal team can help you.

IN CALIFORNIA, WOMEN SHOULD RECEIVE THE SAME PAY AS THEIR MALE COUNTERPARTS

In California, state and federal law protects women who are paid at wage rates less than the rates paid to male employees performing substantially equal work. This is a classic example of gender bias and is not to be tolerated by female employees in California. If you believe you are not being paid appropriately, talk to an experienced employment lawyer.

When two women at a concrete supplier discovered that they were being paid less then their male co-workers who were doing the same job they were, the women stood up for their rights. Your California employer is not allowed to treat you differently, and that includes paying you less, just because you are a woman.

CAN I BE FIRED FOR BEING FAT? CALIFORNIA EMPLOYEES STRUGGLE WITH WEIGHT ISSUES.

Many California employees struggle with their weight. While under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act weight is not a protected category against discrimination, this does not mean your CA employer can purposely discriminate against you because of your weight.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE CA WORKPLACE IS NOT OK: EVEN IF YOU ARE A BIKINI MODEL

While it is a cliché that a woman ‘asks for it’ by the way she dresses, sexual harassment has no place in the California job market. As a Hawaiian Tropic bikini model can attest, just because it is her job to wear a bikini and look sexy, she does not have to tolerate sexual harassment by her bosses or coworkers. CA labor law protects men and women from sexual harassment at work.

When the model was repeatedly groped and crudely propositioned by her bosses, who also pressed her for sex and asked for naked photos, she filed a complaint with the company. However, the woman alleges that her bosses did not do anything to resolve the inappropriate behavior and in fact encouraged it in some instances. Your boss should defend you against sexual harassment.

BLACK MAN SUES HIS EMPLOYER FOR RACIAL DISCRIMINATION AND WINS

In California, it is illegal for your employer to discriminate against you because of your race. In today’s tough economy, it is especially important for you to make sure your employer is complying with state and federal laws that prohibit discrimination. When an African American man was fired from his job as a manager of a liquor store, he was told it was due to economic reasons. Economic reasons for lay offs can be legitimate.

While this may have been part of the truth, the man showed that other white employees had been hired after his termination. Additionally, these employees were less experienced than he was. If your employer has fired you or not promoted you and you believe it is due to the color of your skin, call an experienced employment attorney.

SHOULD YOUR CALIFORNIA EMPLOYER BE PAYING YOU FOR THE EMAILS YOU SEND AFTER WORK?

In California, it is increasingly common for employers to distribute PDAs to employees. And some employees can’t resist reading and responding to emails after hours. If you are one of these dedicated employees, should your employer being paying you for working off the clock? Talk to an experienced employment lawyer to see if, as a non-exempt employee, you are being properly compensated for your work.

The general rule under both California and federal law is that non-exempt employees must be paid for all hours worked. Does reading or responding to work-related emails after hours fit the definition of hours worked? Perhaps. In California, hours worked means “the time during which an employee is subject to the control of an employer, and includes all the time the employee is suffered or permitted to work, whether or not required to do so.”

WOMEN MUST BE PAID EQUAL WAGES: WAL-MART PHARMACIST SUES FOR GENDER DISCRIMINATION

In California, women and men in the workplace must be treated as equals. This means that if you, a woman, are qualified for a raise or promotion and are denied that raise or promotion just because you are a female, you might be the victim of gender discrimination. Women in the CA workplace are also entitled to the same benefits as their male counterparts. Call an experienced employment lawyer if you have been the victim of sex discrimination.

A Wal Mart pharmacist is suing Wal-Mart for one million dollars, alleging that she had been fired from her job after reporting to her supervisor that she noticed she was not being paid as much as her male co-workers for doing the same job. Such behavior by the employer is against the law in CA. Additionally, an employer cannot fire an employee for reporting unlawful behavior in the workplace.

DO YOU SUFFER FROM A HERNIA? DON’T LET YOUR EMPLOYER DISCRIMINATE AGAINST YOU.

A hernia occurs when the contents of a body cavity bulge out of the area where they are normally contained, most often in the lower abdomen. A hernia usually consists of portions of intestine or abdominal fatty tissue and are enclosed in the thin membrane that naturally lines the inside of the cavity. Many California employees suffer from hernias, which can be caused by obesity, straining, heavy lifting, or coughing, to name a few.

Hernias by themselves may not produce any symptoms, but nearly all have a potential risk of having their blood supply cut off. If the blood supply is cut off at the hernia opening in the abdominal wall, then surgery is necessary. If you suffer from a hernia and it is a recognized medical disability, your employer cannot use your disability as a reason to discriminate against you.

If you are a CA employee who suffers from a hernia and you believe that because of your recognized medical disability you have been the victim of medical discrimination at your place of work, call the experienced legal team of Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO). Our skilled employment attorneys will provide you with a free consultation regarding your legal rights.

WAL-MART SETTLES RACIAL DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT BROUGHT BY AFRICAN AMERICAN MALES

In California, your employer or potential employer cannot discriminate against your because of the color of your skin. Discriminatory actions include not hiring, firing, demoting, or not promoting you for no other reasons than your race. As long as you are qualified for the position, it is likely discrimination if the only reason your employer takes one of these adverse actions against you is because of your race. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if this has happened to you.

Wal Mart is one of the nation’s largest retailers and employs thousands of people of almost every race, gender, ethnicity and/or religious beliefs. However, a group of black men claimed that they were denied employment because of their race. The men got together and sued Wal-Mart, recently winning over $17 million in damages.
