CAN FACEBOOK OR TWITTER GET ME FIRED?

Thousands of California employees are on social networking sites such as MySpace, Twitter and Facebook. It is completely legal for you to use these sites after work hours and in your free time at home. However, what if you post something on you Facebook page or tweet something about your boss or another co-worker that is negative or hurtful? Or what if you have risqué pictures of you up on your Myspace page? Chances are your boss or others will find out. Does this mean you will get fired?

The rules are uncertain. Your boss certainly does not have the right to invade your privacy, but if your profile is set to public, that’s a different matter. While it seems that your employer cannot fire you for something you do outside the office, such as partying with friends, it is best to be overly-cautious. However, if you are on Facebook or Twitter or another social networking site and your feel that your employer is invading your privacy, contact an experienced employment attorney.

MUSLIM DENIED EMPLOYMENT OVER HER DRESS

In California, your employer cannot discriminate against you because of your religion or creed. If your religion requires you to wear particular clothing to work, you need to discuss this with your boss. Additionally, it is up to your boss to make reasonable accommodations for your dress. So long as it does not interfere with your ability to perform your job, your dress code is your personal choice. Do not let your employer treat you adversely because of your religion.

When a female teenager interviewed for a job with a local clothing store, she had no idea her Muslim heritage would be an issue. The girl alleges that her interviewer told her that her head covering, or hijab, which her Muslim religion required her to wear, would not be allowed in the store. As a result, she decided to stand up for her right to practice her religion. She is suing the clothing store for religious discrimination.

When production line workers at a local meat-processing plant felt like they were not receiving appropriate pay for the hours they worked, they stood up for their rights and took legal action. The employees alleged that they weren’t paid for the time they spent donning and doffing safety and sanitary gear and performing other related work activities.

ARE YOU OVER 40? YOUR CA EMPLOYER CAN’T USE YOUR AGE AS A REASON TO FIRE YOU.

California employees over 40 are protected by state and federal law. More specifically, the law states that your employer cannot use your age as a reason to discriminate against you. This means that firing you, demoting you, not promoting you, or not providing you with certain benefits just because you are over 40 is against the law in CA. If your employer claims he is ‘restructuring’ and fires only the older workers, this could be a sign of discrimination.

When a group of salespeople over 40 at a local insurance company were adversely impacted by a new restructuring plan, they looked closer at just who was affected. As it turned out, employees over 40 were the ones who felt the brunt of the plan, which reduced their benefits. As a result, they sued their employer and won over $4 million in damages. You could to. Stand up for your rights today.

MUSLIM AND MOROCCAN MAN DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BY HIS CA EMPLOYER

In California, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because of your race, religion, nationality, age, gender, or sexual orientation. If your supervisor or another co-worker is treating you adversely for any of these reasons, you need to report the discrimination to your boss. If you report unlawful discrimination to your boss and he retaliates against you for reporting the illegal behavior, you need to talk to an experienced employment attorney.

When a Muslim Moroccan man was allegedly discriminated against because of his religion and nationality, he reported the behavior to his supervisors. Instead of ending the discriminatory comments and actions, the supervisors allegedly retaliated against the man by firing him. The Muslim man stood up for his rights as a CA employer and took legal action. He won almost $250,000 in damages against his employer.

If you are a male or female employee in CA and you have a discrimination claim to bring against your employer, call Law Offices of David H. Greenberg TODAY.

HELP! MY BOSS WON’T STOP SEXTING ME!

California labor law prohibits sexual harassment in the CA workplace. Sexual harassment can take many forms, from jokes, to touching, to inappropriate comments, and even sexting. What is sexting? The latest form of workplace harassment to pop up, sexting is ‘the act of sending sexually explicit messages or photos electronically, primarily between cell phones.’ If your boss or another co-worker is sexting you, call an experienced employment attorney.

Sexual harassment occurs in almost every So Cal workplace. This does not make the behavior legal or acceptable. If your boss or a co-worker is creating a hostile environment for you because you are extremely uncomfortable with the things he or she is saying, doing, or texting to you, then you might be the victim of harassment. Just because your harasser is not harassing you face-to-face does not mean you have to put up with it. Stand up for your rights!

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

YOUR CA EMPLOYER CAN’T FIRE YOU BECAUSE YOU TAKE LAWFUL PRESCRIPTION DRUGS

In California, it is against the law for your employer to make your employment conditional upon your health. If your doctor prescribed medication for you, whether it is for depression or an injury or anxiety, that is your business — not your employer’s. Additionally, if you do decide to share your medical health with your employer, he cannot use it as a reason to discriminate against you. This means that firing you, demoting you, or not providing you with certain benefits —- just because of your medical history or health — is against the law.

An automotive plant decided to perform drug tests conducted on some of its employees. While drug testing is not per se illegal, this company was allegedly testing employees with the intent to find out the employees medical health and the prescription medications they were taking. Furthermore, the company is accused of forcing the workers to disclose which of their medical conditions required those drugs and then making it a condition of employment that they stop taking them. This is not lawful. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if your employer is discriminating against you.

If you are a CA employee who believes that because of your recognized medical disability or the prescribed drugs that you take that you have been discriminated against at your job, call the hard working legal team of Law Offices of David H. Greenberg at 1-888-204-1014. Our skilled employment attorneys will provide you with a free consultation regarding your legal rights.
