WOMEN IN POWERFUL POSITIONS MOST LIKELY TO BE HARASSED AT WORK. DON’T LET YOUR CA EMPLOYER SEXUALLY HARASS YOU.

A recent study on workplace harassment showed that women with power are most likely to be sexually harassed at their CA jobs. Many psychologists state that sexual harassment is less about sexual desire and more about control and domination, which is supported by the findings of this study. According to the study nearly half of women supervisors reported sexual harassment in the workplace, whereas only one-third of women that do not hold such positions were harassed.

While sexual harassment can be your boss’s or co-worker’s way of ‘equalizing power’ in the workplace, it does not mean such inappropriate behavior is lawful. In fact, CA and federal law protect you against harassment of all kinds in your CA job. If you work with someone who is sexually harassing you, stand up for your rights. Call an experienced employment attorney today.

CHRONIC ILLNESS AFFECTING YOUR CA JOB? DON’T LET YOUR EMPLOYER FIRE YOU.

Losing a job, especially in this economy, is common worry for many CA workers coping with a chronic illness.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT, TEXTING, AND THE CA WORKPLACE

As many male and female CA workers can attest, sexual harassment isn’t about being chased around the desk anymore. It’s about flirtation, hidden messages, retaliation and, of course, text messages. Where as in person, you can read your co-workers (or boss’s) body language and hear the tone in his or her voice, over text message or email or instant message, that is not possible. Often, we take what we read literally and can easily interpret a message to fall into the category of ‘textual’ harassment.

If your boss or a co-workers is textually harassing you, keep the text messages. This is evidence you and your skilled employment attorney can use in court to prove that your workplace has become a hostile environment and that you are the victim of sexual harassment. CA and federal law protect men and women against sexual harassment, whether it be through text messages, emails, or in-person jokes. Stand up for your rights — don’t let your employer sexually harass you.

IS YOUR BOSS PAYING YOU ON YOUR REGULAR PAYDAY? IF NOT, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SUE.

In California, wages (with some exceptions) must be paid at least twice during each calendar month on the days your employer has designated in advance as regular paydays. CA law states that your employer must establish a regular payday and is required to post a notice that shows the day, time and location of your payment. For the most part, wages earned between the 1st and 15th days of any calendar month must be paid no later than the 26th day of the month you performed the work. Additionally, wages earned between the 16th and last day of the month must be paid by the 10th day of the following month. Talk to an experienced employment attorney if your CA employer is not following the law.

CALIFORNIA ECONOMY IS SLOW TO RECOVER: KEEP YOUR JOB AND YOUR SANITY.

California, home to the eighth largest economy in the world, is suffering record unemployment. With the recession, decreased consumer spending, reduced trade flows, financial market turmoil, the mortgage crisis and a prolonged housing slump, economists do not predict much growth for the next year or so. In this tough economy it is extra important that you keep your job, but at the same time not let your CA employer take advantage of you.

While economic growth is expected around 2011, in the meantime, the unemployment rate will stay around 10%. This number is frightening for both those who have lost their job and those who fear they might lose their job. In such a stressful workplace environment, bosses and other co-workers can become less sensitive to prevalent issues such as harassment, discrimination, and wage violations. Do not less your employer mistreat you. You deserve to be paid for the work that your perform.
