LESBIAN WOMAN SUES FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT

Sexual harassment is against the law in the California workplace. If you are a gay or lesbian employee in CA it is against the law for your employer or another coworker to harass you or make fun of you or make offensive gestures, etc… toward you because of your sexual orientation. If you are a CA employee who feels demeaned, humiliated, or intimidated on account of your gender, you might be the victim of discriminatory harassment at your job. An experienced employment attorney can help you determine what is harassment.

When a woman at a local business came out as a lesbian, she started to receive inappropriate jokes and comments from her coworkers. She asked them to stop, but it continued so she reported it to her supervisor. It is up to your employer to investigate and promptly take corrective action when an employee complains of harassment. When her employer did not, she took legal action and won hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages for the harassment she endured.

IS ALL SEXUAL CONDUCT CONSIDERED HARASSMENT IN THE CA WORKPLACE?

In the California workplace, not all sexual conduct is considered harassment. The sexually harassing conduct must be so ‘pervasive or severe’ that it alters the conditions of employment. Talk to an experienced employment attorney so that we can help you show that the harassment you are receiving at work is severe enough or sufficiently pervasive to alter the conditions of your employment and create a work environment that qualifies as hostile or abusive to you.

If you have reported harassment to your employer and it is still going on, you need to stand up for your rights. Know that CA and federal law is on your side and that harassment is against the law. If your coworker or boss is repeatedly making sexual comments, jokes, or gestures that you find inappropriate, you need to defend yourself! Your CA workplace should be a safe one; you need to feel comfortable performing the functions of your job.

MY CA EMPLOYER MADE ACCOMODATIONS FOR MY DISABILTY, BUT THEN HE TOOK THEM AWAY!

California labor law protects employees from being discriminated against because they suffer from a recognized medical disability. Whether you have cancer or depression, if you have a recognized medical disability and you have informed your employer, it is up to him to provide you with reasonable accommodations for your disability so that you can still perform the functions of your job. In addition, he cannot use your medical disability as a reason to fire you, demote you, or not promote you.

When a woman at a local grocery store was provided with reasonable accommodations for her throat cancer, she was excited and able to perform her job and receive pay. However, when a new manager arrived, he was not filled in on the accommodations given to her and did not let her take the breaks she needed. As a result, she suffered some trauma and decided to take legal action. With the help of an experienced employment attorney, she won hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.

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

I’M BEING HARASSED AND DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AT MY CALIFORNIA JOB, HELP!

California state law forbids harassment and discrimination in the workplace. In fact, CA labor law contains two separate sections on the matters: one forbidding discrimination and another forbidding harassment. In addition, individual employees cannot be held personally liable for discrimination, but they can be for harassment. The test for whether conduct amounts to harassment is if the employer conveyed an ‘abusive message.’ An experienced employment attorney can help you define abusive.

Discrimination can occur over a person’s religion, age, sexual orientation, gender, race or nationality. An employer can discriminate against you by not promoting you, demoting you, or firing you just because of one of the above-mentioned factors. Whether you are being discriminated against or harassed at work, you have the law on your side. Stand up for your rights and win thousands of dollars in damages from your employer in the process!

MY CO-WORKER ASSUALTED ME! IS MY CALIFORNIA EMPLOYER RESPONSIBLE?

In the California workplace, violence against coworkers can occur. But this does not make it right. Are you being harassed at work by a boss or coworker? Have you reported these signs of instability by your co-worker but did not receive any help? The law is on your side. If you are being harassed at work by a co-worker, make sure you report it to your boss. In addition, look out for these warning signs, which indicate an employee might be more likely to engage in some sort of violence at work:

  • Confrontational Attitude
  • Threatening Coworkers
  • Threatening Bosses
  • Showing guns or bragging about guns to coworkers
  • Substance Abuse
  • Aggressive Behavior
  • Bullying Others
  • Outbursts of Anger
  • Warning signs are important for employers to not ignore because they signal that the employee may be on the verge of ‘losing it’ and if the employer were to step in and help they might be able to avoid an instance of violence in their workplace. The efforts that employers put in to avoiding workplace violence can go a long way to protecting you and making your workplace a safe one.

MY CO-WORKER GOT DRUNK AT AN OFFICE PARTY AND CRASHED INTO MY CAR. IS MY CA EMPLOYER LIABLE?

In California, improper use of alcohol by yourself or another coworker may expose your employer to liability several laws. For example, your employer may be held liable if an employee consumes alcoholic beverages at a company-sponsored party and subsequently causes a car crash. Sometimes employers are held liable because negligent acts by employees under the influence of alcohol consumed at employer-sponsored events are found to be within the scope of their employment. Talk to an experienced employment attorney to see if your employer is liable for the accident caused by a drunk coworker.

If your employers’ business serves or sells alcohol he may be held liable if an employee consumes alcohol at his establishment and subsequently causes a crash. Employers with employees who drive as part of their job-such as delivery persons and sales representatives, may also be subject to legal action if the impaired employee causes a crash while conducting business. Don’t let your CA employer tell you that he is not responsible for his employers. Stand up for your rights.

EMPLOYEES SUFFERING FROM LUNG CANCER CANNOT BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BY THEIR CA EMPLOYERS

In California, employers suffering from a recognized medical disability, such as lung cancer, cannot be discriminated against by their employer. About 175,000 Americans are diagnosed with this disease each year, which is the deadliest type of cancer for both men and women. While cigarette smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, people who do not smoke can also get the disease. The important thing is to catch it early and stay on top of your medical appointments.

Your California employer must provide you with reasonable accommodations to care for your lung cancer. This means that if you need to miss work for chemotherapy, radiation, or other medical appointments, your employer cannot use your time missing work as a reason to fire you or demote you. Additionally, if your job requires you to expend a lot of energy and your lung cancer makes you easily tired, you are allowed reasonable rest periods, etc… talk to an experienced employment attorney to see what reasonable accommodations you deserve.

If you are a CA employee who believes that you have been discriminated against at your job because of your recognized medical disability, call the skilled employment attorneys at Law Offices of David H. Greenberg. Our knowledgeable 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 medical discrimination at work.

In California, female employees deserve the same rights, pay, protection, and benefits as their male counterparts. However, even in 2010, this is not always the case.

If your boss has used your gender against you when deciding who gets a promotion or raise, call an experienced employment attorney today.

When women employees at local Outback Steakhouses noticed that the restaurant allegedly discriminated against its female employees with respect to the terms and conditions of employment, denied women equal opportunities for advancement, could not get promoted to the higher-level profit-sharing management positions in the restaurants, and were denied favorable job assignments, particularly kitchen management experience, which was required for employees to be considered for the top management job in the restaurants they took legal action. As a result of standing up for the federally protected rights, the women won $19 million in damages.
