DO YOU BLACKBERRY, RESPOND TO EMAILS, OR MAKE PHONE CALLS AFTER WORK? ARE YOU GETTING PAID FOR THIS TIME SPENT WORKING?

Many California employers have kept up with the technological advances and provided their employees with Blackberrys and other smart phones. If your employer has provided you with such a phone, he might be expecting you to be available and to respond to email or phone messages in the evenings and on weekends. Or maybe he wants you to coordinate work by email or by texting in the mornings before meeting at a job site or conference.

If you are an hourly employee and your employer expects you to be available after regularly scheduled work hours to perform work, or asks you to make phone calls, send emails, etc… regarding work, you might deserve overtime pay. Under both CA and federal law, your employer is obliged to pay you for the work you have done, regardless of whether the employer requested that the work be performed. Additionally, certain employees are subject to overtime pay.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS ILLEGAL IN YOUR CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE

No matter where you work, CA and federal labor law clearly state that sexual harassment is against the law. Sexual harassment can occur between men and women or between individuals of the same gender. No matter what, it is illegal.

There are two types of illegal sexual harassment:
1. Quid pro quo, which means ‘this for that’ or ‘something for something’
2. Hostile environment - conduct that creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment

When female servers at a local restaurant were subjected to sexual jokes and requests and touching by their male supervisor, they stood up for their rights and took legal action. The women allege that their supervisor asked them to make porn videos with him and made numerous comments about their bodies. Such behavior and/or requests are against the law in California.

RESTAURANT VIOLATES CA LABOR LAW BY REFUSING TO HIRE MALE SERVERS

In the California workplace, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you for almost any reason, including your gender. This means you cannot be fired, not hired, not promoted, demoted, or not provided with certain benefits because you are a man or a woman. If you feel like you have been treated adversely by your CA employer because of your sex, call an experienced employment attorney to discuss your rights.

When a well-known restaurant chain refused to hire men as waiters, a few of the disgruntled men got together to stand up for their rights. While it is more common for women to be discriminated against, or not hired as servers, than men, it happens both ways. With the help of legal experts, the men have filed a lawsuit against their employer and won over a million dollars in damages. If you have been mistreated because of your gender, you may have been the victim of discrimination.

WOMEN IN THE CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE DESERVE THE SAME PAY AS THEIR MALE COUNTERPARTS.

In California, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because of your gender. Whether you are a man or a woman, you deserve to be treated respectfully and to receive the pay you deserve. In many CA workplaces, women who do the same jobs as men are not paid as much as the men. This is gender discrimination, or bias, and is against the law. Talk to an experienced employment attorney if you have been discriminated against because of your gender.

A female employee at a large brewery had no idea that she was being paid 57% less than her male counterpart, until she accidentally stumbled upon office papers. She alleges that she reported the pay discrepancy to her employer, but her pay was not changed and her request to receive equal pay was ignored. Wanting to stand up for her rights, she hired an expert legal team to represent her in a lawsuit against her employer and is suing for hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.
