Just because you are not legally employed in California, this does not mean that you do not have rights.

Immigrants in California -- both legal and illegal – have been hard by the recession. According to a report by the Center for Immigration Studies, both educated and uneducated immigrants fared particularly poorly when employers were terminating employees, with jobless rates in California nearly tripling to 12.2% in the first quarter of 2009, compared with 4.5% in the third quarter of 2007.

Additionally, the jobless rate for Latino immigrants grew twice as fast as that for non-Latino immigrants.

This means he cannot fire you or demote you just because of the color of your skin. California and federal law protects your rights as an employee.

The typical California woman has to work three months longer than her male counterpart to make what he makes in a year. But, due to a struggling economy, times might be changing. If your California employer pays you less for the same job performed by your male counterpart, talk to an experienced employment lawyer. Such obvious gender bias is against the law in California and throughout the country.

As there are more men in the workplace, it follows that more men have lost their jobs over the past few years than women. Studies say that men make up 4 out of every 5 job cuts in this recession. While it appears that many women have made it through the worst part of the recession without getting fired, this does not mean they have to tolerate unequal pay.

In California, signs of stabilization in the job market are emerging as restaurants, mortgage servicers and health centers step up hiring. This is good news for many Californians, as employees in these industries were among the first to be let go when the economy was really struggling. Additionally, about a quarter of manufacturing companies and more than 40% of service-sector employers plan to hire workers this month, the highest totals in six months, according to a recent survey. Another positive sign is that online job ads rose by 250,000 in May to 3.37 million, the first increase since October and the largest jump since October 2006.

Make sure that you do not miss out on this hiring boom! Even more important, you need to protect your rights as a California employee.

These are protected classes under California and federal law, which means you need to talk to an experienced employment lawyer if you believe any one of these characteristics has been used against you in the hiring process.

Though much less common these days, polio is still a serious medical condition. Polio, or infantile paralysis, is an acute viral infectious disease spread from person to person that devastated CA and the nation up until the second half of the 20th century. In about 95% of cases there are no symptoms at all. When a person does exhibit symptoms, they include flu-like symptoms such as fever and, in extreme cases, paralysis. If you suffer from polio, do not let your boss use your condition as a reason to discriminate against you.

However, in order to bring suit against your employer, you must be able to show that your polio constitutes a medical disability. Additionally, you must also be able to show that your polio has resulted in physical limitations, but that you can still perform the essential tasks of your job. Your employer can discriminate against you by not allowing you to miss work for medical appointments and not providing reasonable at-work accommodations for your polio.

California and federal laws prohibits employers from engaging in various types of discrimination, including discrimination based on gender and religion. Whether you are a man or a woman, Christian or Jewish or Muslim, as a California employee you deserve to be treated according to the laws of the state and with respect. Just ask an experienced employment lawyer --- your employer cannot take adverse action against you because of your religion or sex.

When a Jewish woman working in the Attorney General’s office complained that Christian holidays received preference over non-Christian holidays, such as Passover, she complained to her boss. As a result of her complaint, she alleges that her supervisor began treating her differently, and not in a good way. Additionally she claims that her supervisor gave her a negative job performance review just because she is a woman. If she wins, she can recover thousands of dollars in damages.

In CA, can your employer or potential employer check out your Facebook or MySpace page and use it against you? Maybe, maybe not. This is still an unclear area of employment law. An experienced employment lawyer can answer your questions in more detail. However legal or illegal it is, it is becoming much more common for CA bosses to snoop on their employees. And some CA employers are stooping to sleazy tactics.

Some CA employers have been known to create fictitious Facebook or MySpace identities and then "friend" employees or prospective employees to get a glimpse at what those people are posting online. There have been cases of employers monitoring an employee's social networking accounts on sick days and firing those who show activity -- as if anyone who's well enough to sit up in bed with a laptop is well enough to come to the office.

If you are a male or female CA employee and you believe that your employer has been snooping on your social networking page and has taken adverse action against you as a result, call the skilled employment attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP.

The Pregnancy Discrimination Act makes it illegal to fire or not hire a woman because she is pregnant. Discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions constitutes unlawful sex discrimination under this Act, which covers CA companies with 15 or more employees. If you are pregnant or affected by pregnancy-related conditions the law says that you must be treated in the same manner as other applicants or employees with similar abilities or limitations.

Additionally, if you are temporarily unable to perform your job because of your pregnancy, your employer must treat you the same as any other temporarily disabled employee. For example, if your employer allows temporarily disabled employees to modify tasks, perform alternative assignments, or take disability leave or leave without pay, then your employer must also allow you, the pregnant employee, to do the same.

The Act states that as a pregnant employee, you must be allowed to work as long as you are able to perform your job. If you have been absent from work as a result of a pregnancy-related condition and recover, your employer may not require you to remain on leave until the baby's birth. Your employer also cannot have a rule that prohibits you from returning to work for a predetermined length of time after childbirth.

When a woman for a large drug company was let go right after going on maternity leave, at seven and a half months pregnant, she was shocked. By all reports she was a great employee. The maternity leave had been approved through human resources and she was planning on coming back to work after giving birth to her child.

When an African American construction worker was locked in a tool shed and called various discriminatory names while on the job, he took legal action. His co-worker allegedly also spray-painted the shed door with the word “Jail.” The same co-worker also put a hangman’s noose around the black employee’s neck, hung the noose in his work area, and threatened to decapitate him. According to the black man’s lawsuit, the construction company suspended him after he complained about the noose and rewarded the offender with a higher-paying position. If true, this is certainly workplace discrimination.

In California, employees with recognized medical disabilities are protected by state and federal law from discrimination resulting from their disability or disorder. Phobia is a common anxiety disorder. Symptoms include an irrational, intense, persistent fear of certain situations, activities, things, or people with an excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject.

As a CA employee, you are protected if your phobia has become a disability at your place of work. However, 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 therapy appointments and not providing you with reasonable on-site accommodations for your phobia.
