Female employees in CA are protected against gender discrimination by federal and CA law. Under federal law, discrimination on the basis of “pregnancy, child birth, or related medical conditions” is considered a form of sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII requires that women affected by pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions must “be treated the same for all employment-related purposes ... as other persons not so affected but similar in their ability or inability to work.”

When a female marine officer was unexpectedly let go after several years on the job, but not before her supervisor made several comments about her pregnancy. Additionally, he allegedly informed her that she would not have been let go if she had not gotten pregnant. The supervisor’s behavior is exactly what Title VII and other CA labor laws protect female employees against. If your employer is discriminating against you because you are pregnant, you might be able to bring a cause of action against him.

In California, employees come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and religions. Whether you are Muslim, Catholic, Buddhist, or Protestant, CA and federal law protect you and your religious choices.

California employees are hard workers. Especially in this tough economy, employees are going above and beyond at their jobs out of fear of getting let go or fired. If you are being forced, whether expressly by your boss or out of fear of losing your job, to bring assignments home and work on them after hours, your employer might need to be paying you for your extra time spent working, even though you are not at the office. An experienced employment lawyer can help you figure out if your employer needs to be paying you for your extra work.

In a recent California case, the court stated that your activities are compensable if they are an “integral and indispensable part of the principal activities for which covered workmen are employed.” If you are spending a few minutes at home doing a little work, your employer probably does not have to pay you. But if you give up a substantial measure of your time and effort after hours, your employer might have to pay you for your extra work.

If you are a CA employee who believes that you should be getting paid for the work you do at home, call the hard working legal team of Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).

As many California employees can attest, the drive to work can be a long one. Not just because of the distance, but --- especially if you live in So Cal --- because of the traffic.

Generally, employees are not compensated for regular commute time, but sometimes the line between commuting and “on the clock” driving may be hard to define. An experienced employment attorney can help you figure your drive time out.

Just driving a company car is not enough, but an employer exercising control of your time spent in the car might be.

In this tough economy, it seems that everyone CA employee is trying as hard as they can to keep their job. However, in a surprising study, we are seeing that this recession has greatly impacted one group in particular: older white males. While this is in part because job loss in California has been concentrated in male-dominated fields, such as construction, manufacturing and finance; and the he decline of unions, which protected employees with seniority, it doesn’t necessarily mean your termination was fair.

Employers are very weary of even appearing to be discriminating against employees on the basis of race. Sometimes, when black or Hispanic or Asian employees are let go, it is assumed to be because of race, especially if an older white male is kept on the job.
