I DRIVE MY CAR FOR COMPANY-RELATED BUSINESS. DOES MY CA EMPLOYER NEED TO REIMBURSE ME?

Many California employees are required by their employer to drive as a part of their job. Sometimes these employees receive a company car, sometimes they do not. If you are an employee who is drives as a condition of employment, such as a salesperson, you need to make sure that your CA employer is properly reimbursing you for the miles you drive for work. Call an experienced employment attorney to see if your employer needs to be paying you back for the miles you drive.

Gas in California is expensive and not getting any cheaper! If you are driving miles and miles for work and your CA employer is reimbursing you, or should be reimbursing you, make sure you are receiving the amount the law states that you deserve. So how much should your employer be paying you back? CA law says that when you are operating a car for business purposes, you should receive 58.5 cents per mile in reimbursement.

MUST MY EMPLOYER PROVIDE ME WITH REASONABLE ACCOMODATIONS FOR MY MEDICAL DISABILITY?

In California, employees with a recognized medical disability are protected by federal and CA law. If you have a medical disability and your employer is aware of your disability, it is up to your employer to provide you with reasonable accommodations for your disability. Your employer cannot use your disability as a reason to discriminate against you. This means he cannot fire you, demote you, not promote, or not provide you with certain benefits just because you have a disability.

So how much must you tell your employer? Not much. The burden is on your boss to take care of you. Recently, a CA employee who used a company-provided scooter to move around a factory sued his employer for disability bias after the scooter broke and was not replaced by the employer. The employee had worked for six months without using a scooter before deciding to retire and the employee never told the company he could not do the job without the scooter. Still, he hired an experienced employment attorney to help him sue his employer and won thousands of dollars in a disability discrimination lawsuit.

If you are an employee in CA who believes that you have been discriminated against at work because of your medical disability, call the skilled employment attorneys at Law Offices of David H. Greenberg. Our talented legal team can help you. Call the Law Offices of Law Offices of David H. 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 medical disability discrimination at work.

I’M A MEDICAL MARIJUANA USER, CAN MY CA EMPLOYER FIRE ME FOR DRUG USE?

In California, many employees are given prescriptions to smoke pot for medical reasons. If you have a legal prescription from your doctor that enables you to smoke marijuana, you might be curious if your employer can fire you for testing positive on a drug test. Medical marijuana is a hot topic in Los Angeles. The law is currently not clear about whether an employer has the right to not hire or fire someone because of their drug use, legal or not.

Therefore, if you are a CA employee who believes that you have been discriminated against by your CA employer because you smoke medical marijuana, which you have a prescription for, call an experienced employment attorney. Your rights are protected under CA and federal law. In this economy, it is important to do everything you can to protect your rights as a CA employee and your job.

IS YOUR CA EMPLOYER FORCING YOU TO ARBITRATE EVEN IF YOU DIDN’T SIGN AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE?

In California, many employers attempt to avoid going to court for lawsuits by unhappy employees by requiring all employees to sign arbitration clauses. An arbitration clause is a commonly used clause in an employment contract that requires you and your employer to resolve your disputes through an arbitration process. That means that you need to settle your issues outside of the courts and with the help of a mediator, who is not necessarily a judge. Make sure your arbitration clause is legal.

If you want to sue your CA employer for discrimination or sexual harassment or any other employment issue and he is claiming that you must arbitrate, make sure that you singed an arbitration agreement. The mere fact that your employer gave you one to look at is probably not enough to require you to forego your legal right to hire an attorney and go to court.

If you are an employee in CA who did not sign an arbitration contract, but your employer is forcing you to arbitrate, call the skilled employment attorneys at Law Offices of David H. Greenberg. Our skilled legal team can help you. Call the Law Offices of Law Offices of David H. 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 info on employment contracts.

DID YOU SIGN AN ARBITRATION BEFORE STARTING WORK WITH YOUR CA EMPLOYER? IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE ENFORCEABLE.

Many California employers require new employees to sign arbitration agreements before they start work. An agreement to arbitrate, rather than hire a lawyer to go to court, any disputes with your employer often looks something like ‘I agree, in the event I am hired by the company, that all disputes and claims that might arise out of my employment with the company will be submitted to binding arbitration.’ The clause might also incorporate the rules of the American Arbitration Association (‘AAA’) in effect at the time. Sometimes such clauses are unconscionable and thus not enforceable.

Often the employer is a position of power, forcing the employee to sign the agreement against his or her wishes. This ‘force’ can be express (your employer is telling you if you do not sign the agreement, you will not be hired) or implied (while your employer does not directly tell you that agreeing to arbitrate is a condition of your hiring, he says things that make you believe this is the case). If you believe that you have signed an arbitration clause that is unconscionable, call an experienced employment attorney.

If you are an employee in CA who believes that you have been forced to sign an unfair arbitration clause, call the skilled employment attorneys at Law Offices of David H. Greenberg. Our skilled legal team can help you. Call the Law Offices of Law Offices of David H. 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 on arbitration clauses.

MALE EMPLOYEE SEXUALLY HARASSED BY FEMALE BOSS IN MARINA DEL REY, CA

California law prohibits your employer, or another co-worker, from sexually harassing you. Whether you are a man or a woman, sexual harassment occurs in the workplace and you are protected against it. Examples of sexual harassment include inappropriate touching, sexual gestures and/or jokes, references to male or female body parts, and repeated requests for sexual favors, or even dates. If you have been sexually harassed by someone at your CA job, call an experienced employment attorney today.

When a male employee at a Regal Theater in Marina del Rey was subjected to a sexually hostile workplace by a female co-worker who repeatedly grabbed his crotch, both he and his direct supervisor complained to the theater’s then-general manager. The manager failed to take adequate steps to stop or prevent the harassment. Instead, she retaliated against the harassed employee and two other supervisory employees with unwarranted discipline, unfairly lower performance evaluations, and stricter scrutiny of performance. As a result of this unlawful behavior, the man won $175,000 in a lawsuit against the movie theater.

NAME DISCRIMINATION: DOES IT EXIST IN THE CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE?

In California, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because of your race, gender, age, nationality, religion, or sexual orientation. A more subtle form of racial discrimination or gender discrimination can occur because of an employee’s, or potential employee’s, name. When you, the CA employee, submit your resume, often all the hiring manager sees is your name and whatever else you include on your resume.

California and federal law prohibit your employer from not hiring you, demoting you, or not promoting you because of your race, gender, nationality, religion, or age. If you believe you were not hired or that you were fired because your employer discriminated against you because of your name, call an experienced employment attorney. Name discrimination is just one way employers can mistreat employees, do not let your employer discriminate against you.

Greenberg. Our skilled legal team can help you. Call the Law Offices of Law Offices of David H.
