EMPLOYMENT LAW SERVICES

What LFECR handles for California employees.

LFECR's attorneys represent California workers across the full spectrum of employment law, in state court, federal court, and arbitration, including AAA and JAMS proceedings.

WRONGFUL TERMINATION

Fired for an illegal reason

California is at-will, but employers can't fire workers for discrimination, retaliation, or in violation of public policy. Cases can result in reinstatement, back pay, and attorney's fees.

WAGES & OVERTIME

Wage theft & unpaid overtime

Unpaid minimum wage, denied overtime (1.5x, 2x), skimmed tips, and other wage theft. Handled as individual and class claims in state court, federal court, and arbitration.

MEAL & REST BREAKS

Denied or interrupted breaks

California requires a 30-minute meal break per five hours and a paid 10-minute rest break per four hours worked. Violations owe a premium of one hour of pay each.

DISCRIMINATION

FEHA & federal protections

Representation under California's FEHA and federal law, including Title VII, the ADEA, and the ADA, covering race, sex, age, disability, pregnancy, and other protected characteristics.

HARASSMENT

Hostile work environment

Sexual harassment, racial harassment, and other severe or pervasive conduct that an employer failed to stop, under both California and federal law.

WHISTLEBLOWER

Retaliation for reporting

Protection for employees who reported illegal conduct, safety violations, wage theft, or fraud, and were fired, demoted, or threatened as a result.

FMLA / CFRA

Protected leave violations

Employers who deny leave, interfere with it, or retaliate against employees for taking federal FMLA or California CFRA leave are liable for damages.

MISCLASSIFICATION

Independent contractor status

Improper classification under California's ABC test to avoid overtime, benefits, and payroll taxes. LFECR pursues full recovery of wages and benefits owed.

PRIVACY

Workplace privacy rights

Unauthorized monitoring, disclosure of medical information, or improper access to personal devices in the workplace.

CHILD LABOR

Minor employment protections

California's strict rules on hours, working conditions, and permits for minors, enforced against employers who violate them.
