Many California employers to require their employees to take random drug tests in an effort to promote a drug-free workplace. In California, and a few others states, the use of medical marijuana has been legalized, which makes one think that if they have a medical marijuana license and they test positively for pot, they are OK. This may or may not actually be the case.

Federal law states that all marijuana use, including medical, is against this law. This conflicts with the California laws. So, if you live and work in CA, but are employed by the federal government, you might have to follow a different set of rules. If you are a registered medical marijuana user and your employer has used it as a reason to fire you, you might be able to bring a claim against him. Talk to an experienced employment attorney today.

In California, sexual harassment of all types is against the law in the workplace. And, which is better for employees, the definition of sexual harassment has expanded in recent years. Now, what many view as traditional, clear-cut harassment — ‘Sleep with me, and I’ll give you a promotion,’ is just one example of workplace harassment that is against the law. Telling dumb blonde jokes can be harassment, but so can being disrespectful after a consensual relationship gone bad.

When a woman, who was a former girl friend of a local mayor, broke up with the man, she alleges that things started getting messy. Once treated like the teacher’s pet, she alleges that she started receiving demeaning e-mails from her ex and that he started taking work duties away from her. She sued her ex and won $200,000 in damages. When an employee wins a sexual harassment suit, he or she is often entitled to back pay, forward pay that would have been earned if the person hadn’t had to leave the job, pay for any mental and physical stress and a small amount for punitive damages.

If you are a male or female employee in CA and your employer is sexually harassing you, call Law Offices of David H. Greenberg TODAY.

Some California employers have started asking employees, both old and new, for the most personal of information: their DNA. Is this legal? Unfortunately, yes. IF your employer is using the information to run a background check on you. However, it is very likely that your employer could also use your DNA to discover information about your health — like your genetic risk for cancer, heart disease or mental illness. This would violate labor laws, including GINA.

GINA prohibits your health insurer and your employer from using your genetic information against you, meaning, for example, that your health insurer can’t collect your genetic information to make decisions about the insurance you get or how much it costs. The law also says your employer can’t use it to make decisions about hiring, firing or job promotions. While it is hard to ensure that your employer isn’t requesting a DNA sample for illegal reasons, an experienced employment attorney can help you determine whether your rights have been violated.

If you are an employee in CA who believes that you have been discriminated against at work because of your DNA, call the skilled employment attorneys at Law Offices of David H. Greenberg.

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 about all types of discrimination at work.

In California, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because you have a recognized medical disability, such as deafness. A hearing impairment or deafness is a full or partial decrease in the ability to detect or understand sound and is caused by a wide range of biological and environmental factors. If you have a recognized medical disability, and you can still perform the functios of your job, it is up to your employer to reasonably accommodate your disability, not discriminate against you for it.

When a scrub technician at a local hospital informed her employers she found it difficult to hear in the operating room due to the loud music being played, she asked for assitantce in finding a new position.

Many califoria employees use their work computers or laptops to access their personal email accounts. Sometimes, Californians send work information to and from personal email accounts. How does this play into privacy? We all know that it is likely that your employer can read through your work emails, the ones you send using your work address on a company computer, but how about your personal account?

It seems that the answer is: no, your CA employer cannot violate your privacy by reading through your personal email account without your authorization. To be safe, it is probably best to keep your personal stuff (emails, IMs…) at home, on your home computer. However, if you do use your work computer to read and write personal emails, recent cases of employes suing employers for invasion of privacy have come out in favor of the employee.

If you are an employee in California who believes that your employer is reading your personal email account, call Law Offices of David H. Greenberg TODAY.

Learning disabilities, sometimes called a learning disorder or learning difficulty, is a disorder in which a person has difficulty learning in a typical manner. The cause is unknown but affects the brain’s ability to receive and process information. If you have a learning disability, and it is a recognized medical disability, this is not a reason for your employer to discriminate against you.

A long-time male employee at a local grocery store suffered from a severe learning disability. However, he was still able to complete the tasks his employer gave him. This didn’t stop supervisors from taunting and harassing him, making fun of him for his disability.

When male waiters at a local restaurant chain began getting sexually harassed by other male kitchen staffers, they reported the unlawful behavior. Their employers did nothing to stop the behavior and the assaults became more aggressive. The male employees stood up for their rights and sued their employer. They won over $340,000 in damages.
