It is especially important in this economy to make sure that you are not being let go or fired for an unlawful reason. An experienced employment attorney can help make sure your rights are protected.

You’re a California employee. You’ve been working for your company for a while. And recently, due to the bad economy, or maybe just bad luck, you were fired. Should your CA employer give you a severance package? Maybe. Maybe not. An experienced employment lawyer can help you answer that question.

With all this talk we’ve been hearing about severance packages — usually for executives and workers at big companies — many CA workers assume that severance pay is a given. However, usually without a labor contract that specifies a severance deal, you have no such rights. No federal or CA state law requires severance pay. But the good news for you, a CA employee, is that providing severance pay has morphed into common practice. Your contract might require that your employer give you severance pay upon your termination.
If you are a CA employee who believes your employer should have provided you with a severance package, per the terms of your employment, the experienced legal team of Greenberg & Rudman LLP is here to help.

California farmers and others employed in the agriculture industry should be very pleased: recent changes by the US Labor Secretary will help their earning potential. In an attempt to protect the American worker, the Labor Secretary suspended regulations adopted by the Bush administration that governed wages and recruitment of immigrant guest workers for agriculture. The regulations will be suspended for nine months while the Labor Department figures out new regulations for the guest worker program.

Supposedly the old regulations lowered wages for immigrant guest workers and the changes are seen as a move to improve conditions for workers. If you are a farm hand, legally in the US or not, you have rights as an employee that need to be protected. Make sure you are receiving proper pay, such as overtime and benefits.

In California, you cannot be discriminated because of your race or nationality. This also means that your CA employer cannot discriminate, or take any adverse action, against you because you speak another language, in addition to English (if that is what is required of your job). While if your job demands that you communicate with others in English and you were told this when you were hired, you might need to speak English, your employer cannot discriminate against you because you speak another language.

While a CA employer is, in simple terms, free to discipline, fail to promote, or fire an employee whose performance suffers due to personal obligations or interests, including childcare, without necessarily incurring liability under Title VII, your employer is NOT free to assume that a woman - simply because she is a woman - will necessarily be a less productive worker simply because of family responsibilities. Such stereotypes are still very common in the California workplace, however this does not make them right or legal.

When a mother of four (including three triplets) who was enrolled in a class in a local college, came up for a promotion at her job, her employers allegedly denied her the raise and promotion because of her family responsibilities and all that she had ‘on her plate’ as a mother. Her supervisors allegedly brought up her parental status in her promotion interview and she was reportedly told that the reason she did not receive the promotion was because of her family, not her job performance.

Good news! According to a recent survey, fewer companies in the U.S. and CA plan to begin cutting jobs, which means that you might be able to relax for the time being. In April, only 5% of the companies surveyed were planning initial staff cuts in the next 12 months. This is down substantially from February, where 13% of companies thought they would begin laying off workers in the next year.

About 5.1 million employees have lost a job since the recession began in December 2007, making it the biggest employment slump of the post World War II era.

Gender discrimination, or discrimination based on your sex, is against the law in California. Unfortunately, gender bias is a very common problem in many workplaces, especially those that have traditionally been male-dominated industries, such as the automobile industry. However, times are continuing to change and as a result there is certainly no reason for your employer to use old stereotypes to discriminate against you, a female employee.

CA and federal laws prohibit your employer from discriminating against you because you are a woman or a man. While often woman tend to be the more common recipients of gender bias, this does not mean men cannot also be victims. When two female high-level employees at a luxury car-maker noticed that they were being treated differently than their male counterparts, receiving less pay, getting passed over for promotions, and watching male executives putting down women, they took legal action and stood up for their rights.

Sexual harassment is against the law in any CA workplace, from restaurants to law firms, doctors’ offices, and every office in between.

Sexual harassment can take many forms. As stated above, it is often sexually suggestive in nature. This might mean your boss offers you a raise if in return you give him a sexual favor.

Since the 1960s, the time of the Civil Rights movement, both CA and the federal government have put in place numerous laws that prohibit your employer from discriminating against you, the CA employee, on almost any grounds. Some behavior is not considered discriminatory. An experienced employment lawyer can help you determine if your employer discriminated against you.

The most well known employment anti-discrimination law, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibits your CA employer from discriminating on the basis of race, national origin, gender, or religion.

Maybe not. For a clearer answer, discuss your situation with an experienced CA employment lawyer. Your employer certainly cannot discriminate against you and your body art because it represents something religious. Your religious choice and beliefs are protected against discrimination by your employer by CA and federal law. Do not let your employer discriminate against you.

If you, the CA employee, assert a right to a particular tattoo, jewelry or hairstyle on religious grounds, your employer cannot treat you more or less favorably because of these religious beliefs or practices. In fact, you must accommodate employees' sincerely held religious practices, unless doing so would impose an undue hardship. However, your CA employer is not required to accommodate religious beliefs or practices if doing so would impose an undue hardship on legitimate business interests.

In recent weeks, there has been a lot of attention given to the new "Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act." Who is Lilly Ledbetter and what does this Act mean for CA employees? The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was a reaction to an older Supreme Court ruling. The Act amended all of the major discrimination laws – Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act. An experienced employment attorney can answer your questions more thoroughly about the Act.

The new Act applies to any individual who is claiming discrimination in compensation on any basis: race, sex, religion, age, national origin, disability, etc… Under the new law, employees who believe that they are victims of pay discrimination at any time during their employment may file a discrimination charge, as long as the discriminatory pay decision continues to have an effect on their pay. If the employee can prove that the pay decision was discriminatory, the court can award back pay going back two years from the date the charge is filed (or the date the lawsuit is filed in the case of an Equal Pay Act claim) to correct the discrimination. Additionally, the court can consider evidence of discrimination in compensation occurring prior to that period in determining the amount of damages.

In California, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because you suffer from a recognized medical disability, such as cancer.

These accommodations include:

• allowing you to miss work for doctors’ appointments, such as chemotherapy
• providing you with reasonable on-site accommodations for your cancer

Recently, the EEOC warned employers to avoid swine flu discrimination. The EEOC suggested that your employer refrain from nationality discrimination against Mexicans or Hispanic Americans. What does this mean exactly? And how are you, a California employee, protected by this? An experienced employment lawyer can answer your questions in more detail.

Put simply, your CA employer should refrain from making employment decisions based merely on the fact that you, a CA employee, are from Mexico.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) is an economic stimulus package enacted by the United States Congress and signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. Along with providing federal tax relief, expansion of unemployment benefits and other social welfare provisions, and domestic spending in education, health care, and infrastructure, the Act is infusing billions of dollars into the private sector. This could mean your California is benefiting directly.

To ensure that the money is actually used for their intended purpose, and to protect you, the employer who reports unlawful use of the money, Congress added a powerful whistleblower provision into the law. The provision protects employees who report suspected employer mishandling of the stimulus money and allows them to sue for damages and job loss if they suffer retaliation for reporting perceived abuse of the federal money. Don’t be afraid to come forward if you believe that your employer is breaking the law.

If you are a CA employee who believes your employer is violating the ARRA, the experienced legal team of Greenberg & Rudman LLP are here to help.

In California, there are several categories protected against discrimination in the workplace. These include race, nationality, age, religion and gender. Under the gender category falls pregnancy discrimination. This can occur when an employer does not hire, fires, demotes, does not promote, or fails to provide equal benefits to a woman because she is pregnant, or even just had a child. Call an experienced employment lawyer if you believe you were treated adversely by your employer because of your pregnancy.

When a female waitress was recently fired from her job, she was told it was because the bad economy had made business especially slow. While this might have been true, the woman noticed that servers who were not as popular with customers as her and had not been working for the restaurant as long as she had not been let go. As a result, she consulted an employment attorney and realized that she can sue her former employer for hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.

The answer is a resounding YES. In California, it is against the law for your employer to promote or not take care of a hostile work environment. A hostile work environment can exist when you are fearful about going to work because of the offensive, intimidating, or oppressive atmosphere generated by the harasser. The harasser could be harassing you directly, or one of your co-workers, or, as is the case with internet porn, he or she might not intend to harass any one person in general.

An experienced employment lawyer can tell you what constitutes a hostile work environment. In California, it appears that a co-worker who uses a work computer to access and look at interenet pornography while at work is definitely creating an uncomfortable, and possibly unlawful, environment. If you have complained to your boss about such a co-worker and your boss has not taken any steps to take care of the problem, you might need to take legal action.

According to the Center for Disease Control, about 1 in 5 Americans have a disability, and the number is expected to increase as baby boomers age. The number of Americans with a disability has risen 7.7 percent, to nearly 48 million over the last 10 years. As such, the number of employees reporting a disability likely will increase, as more people enter the highest risk age group of 55 and older. Additionally, the study indicated that women were slightly more likely to be disabled than men at any age.

Your CA employer is not allowed to discriminate against you because of your recognized medical disability.

An experienced employment lawyer can help you bring a claim against your employer for medical disability discrimination.

California employers cannot discriminate against an employee on the basis of the employee’s race or nationality. Whether you are black, white, Hispanic, or Asian, if your employer uses your race as a reason to treat you adversely, you can bring a discrimination lawsuit against him and win lots of money in damages. Examples of adverse treatment include not hiring, firing, demoting, or not promoting you because of your nationality or race.

When a home-builder allegedly intentionally assigned African American sales agents to housing communities based on the race of the surrounding community, this resulted in black agents earning significantly less than their white counterparts, who were assigned to housing communities where they sold higher-priced homes. This type of behavior by the employer would be considered discrimination, as the employer allegedly unlawfully engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination against black sales agents.

In California, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because of your age or gender. CA employment discrimination laws, regulated by the DFEH, prohibit age discrimination in the work place for men and women over the age of 40. Additionally, male and female employees cannot be discriminated because of their gender. Speak to an experienced employment attorney if you believe you have been victimized by age or gender discrimination.

When a 57 year old female law school professor was given notice that her contract with the university was not being renewed, she was very surprised. Especially because her student reviews were nothing but positive. She alleges that a younger, less experienced, teacher was moved to a long-term contract and that law school retained a male instructor with less seniority than she has and hired less qualified males on tenure track. All this while her contract was not being renewed. These could be signs of age and gender discrimination.

California labor law is a huge source of support to California employees. It looks out for CA employees’ needs, including allowing many employees the option to work ‘alternative’ work weeks. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer to see if your employer should be providing you with an alternate work week schedule. It is important for you, a CA employee, to make sure that your rights as an employee are being protected.

Current California law permits employers to adopt an “alternative workweek” schedule, which typically involves four ten hour days instead of five eight hour days. In order to implement such a schedule, certain requirements need to be met, such as 2/3 of employees in a work unit voting in favor of the schedule. As a CA employee, you might benefit from an alternate workweek by reducing your commuting costs and enjoying more flexibility in your work schedule. However, the maximum number of daily hours that may be regularly scheduled as part of an alternative workweek is currently the subject of debate. An experienced employment attorney might be able to better answer your questions.

If you are a CA employee or resident who thinks you are entitled to an alternate workweek, but your employer won’t consider the option, call the Law Offices of Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO) TODAY.

Parkinson’s is characterized by muscle rigidity, tremor, a slowing of physical movement and, in extreme cases, a loss of physical movement. While some employees are born with a gene for the disease, others cases can result from drug toxicity, head trauma, or other medical disorders.

California and federal employment laws protect you if your Parkinson’s has become a disability at your place of work. First, in order to receive the benefits of these laws, you must show your employer that you are disabled as a result of your condition. If you have demonstrated that you are disabled to your employer, he cannot discriminate against you because of your disability, or for any other reason.

Ways your employer might discriminate against you include:

• Not allowing you to miss work for doctors’ appointments
• Not providing you with reasonable on-site accommodations for your Parkinson’s disease

In California, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because you are over 40 years of age. This means your employer cannot fire you, demote you, not promote you, or not provide you with equal benefits because you are older than 40 years. California and federal law protect older employees from age discrimination.

When a group of older workers were let go from their job with a large paint and chemicals company, they got together and took legal action. The older former employees allege that they were fired or pressured to retire because management considered them a financial drain due to their age. In these tough economic times it is important to protect your rights as an employee and make sure that if you are let go, it is for the right reasons.
