When Anaheim’s Measure L May Apply
For some jobs in the Anaheim Resort District, Measure L can affect the minimum wage owed. We can review whether your employment falls within those rules and help with other concerns, including unpaid overtime, harassment or retaliation after reporting a workplace problem.
We represent employees across a range of industries, including:
Hotels & Tourism
Healthcare
Manufacturing
Sports & Entertainment
Retail & Professional Services
Working near a resort does not establish coverage by itself. The employer and employment arrangement need to be checked.

FAQs
Can my employer retaliate against me for reporting a workplace violation?
California law prohibits retaliation for many protected activities, such as reporting certain wage violations, discrimination, harassment, safety concerns, or suspected unlawful conduct. Retaliation can include termination, demotion, reduced hours or pay, or other adverse action. Whether a particular report or complaint is legally protected depends on the facts and the law involved.
How long do I have to file an employment claim in California?
Deadlines vary significantly by claim. For example, many California discrimination, harassment, and retaliation complaints filed with the Civil Rights Department generally must be started within three years, while many wage claims have deadlines ranging from one to four years depending on the violation. Some retaliation complaints before the Labor Commissioner generally have a one-year deadline. Because the applicable deadline depends on the claim and facts, it is important to get advice early.
How much does it cost to hire an employment lawyer?
LFECR offers free, confidential case reviews with no obligation. If the firm accepts your case, representation is handled on a contingency basis, meaning there are no upfront attorney’s fees and attorney’s fees are paid only if LFECR obtains a recovery or compensation for you.
Will my employment case have to go to court?
Not necessarily. Employment disputes may resolve through negotiation or settlement, and some cases are handled in arbitration rather than court. If litigation is necessary, LFECR represents employees in California state court, federal court, and arbitration proceedings, including AAA and JAMS matters.
