SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE CA WORKPLACE CAN OCCUR AT ANY AGE

Sexual harassment is against the law in the California workplace. Sexual harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which means you — the employee – are protected against such unlawful behavior by both CA and federal law. If your employer or another co-worker is harassing you, contact an experienced employment attorney.

A teenage girl recently stood up for her rights as an employee and sued her employer, Burger King, for the alleged harassment she suffered by her general manager. The harassment included unwelcome touching, overt sexual advances, and frequent requests for sexual favors. Additionally, the female alleged that she complained about the harassment to her assistant managers, who failed to take appropriate action to stop the unlawful conduct.

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. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if your employer has taken adverse action against you because of your weight.

Unfortunately, weight discrimination in the workplace is common. Additionally, in CA and throughout the country, women are twice as likely as men to report weight discrimination on the job. Whether you are a male or a female, do not let your employer fire you, demote you, lay you off, or otherwise treat you unfairly just because you are overweight.

If you are an overweight CA employee and you believe that because of your weight that you have been the victim bias at your place of work, call the experienced legal team of Law Offices of David H. Greenberg at 1-888-204-1014. Our skilled employment attorneys will provide you with a free consultation regarding your legal rights. You can also visit our website at www.discriminationattorney.com.

CALIFORNIA UNEMPLOYMENT RATES CONTINUE TO RISE: MAKE SURE YOUR RIGHTS ARE PROTECTED

Unemployment rose in most of the metropolitan cities tracked by the Labor Department at the start of 2009 and according to the government’s findings, areas of California were among the hardest hit. In these tough economic times, layoffs, demotions, and firings are inevitable. Make sure your rights as a California employee are being protected — don’t let your employer terminate your employment for an illegal reason.

For example, Riverside-San Bernardino, California has a startling high unemployment rate of 11.8%, one of the highest in the country. Many believe this is due to the major housing bust the Riverside-San Bernardino area has suffered. Whatever the reason, talk to an experienced employment lawyer if you feel that your employment rights have been violated.

IF YOU HAVE LUPUS, DON’T LET YOUR CALIFORNIA EMPLOYER DISCRIMINATE AGAINST YOU: LOS ANGELES LAWYERS CAN HELP

Lupus is an autoimmune disease most commonly suffered from by women, and many women in the CA workplace suffer from lupus.

UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS IN CALIFORNIA CAN SUE FOR OVERTIME

Some California employees qualify for overtime pay. The Fair Labor Standards Act requires your employer to pay one-and-a-half times your regular hourly pay rate to you if you are a non-exempt employee and work in excess of 40 in any workweek. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer to see if you should be receiving overtime pay.

Recently, undocumented residents who were employed by a laundry company sued their employer for overtime pay and other damages. The court acknowledged that while they were not US citizens, under FLSA they had the same right to file court claims for overtime compensation as employees who are in this country legally. This is big news for many of California’s undocumented citizens who are employed by local businesses.

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.

If you are a CA employee who is the victim of sexual harassment at work, call the knowledgeable employment attorneys at Law Offices of David H. Greenberg. Our skilled legal team can help you. Call the 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 for more information on sexual harassment.
