When you have a dispute with your employer, whether you have questions about compensation and wages awarded or concerns about a contract, navigating those challenges can feel daunting. You may worry about losing your job or missing out on future opportunities due to the dispute. A Los Angeles employment lawyer could not only ensure that you know and understand your rights, but also protect against employer retaliation.
If you have been discriminated against, harassed, and/or retaliated against based on your race, age, sex, pregnancy, religion, complaints, disability, or for taking medical leave, then call the dedicated attorneys at Levian Law for a free consultation. We represent employers and employees in all matters involving violations of such statutes as the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), California Family Rights Act (CFRA), and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Under California law, workers must be fairly compensated for the hours they have worked. If you believe you have not been paid the wages you have earned, including unpaid overtime, commissions, bonuses, or you have not received adequate meal and rest breaks as required by the Labor Code, then call the attorneys at Levian Law for a free consultation. An employment lawyer in Los Angeles can help you pursue a claim against your employer and examine your rights, including determining whether you are an exempt or non-exempt employee, or fighting to ensure that you are paid at least minimum wage for your work.
Sometimes employees are misclassified as exempt as opposed to non-exempt, which often gives rise to a wage and hour dispute. If you feel you have been misclassified as an employee or if you are an employer who has misclassified your employees and now find yourself involved in a legal matter, then Levian Law can help. We represent employers and employees in all wage and hour matters.
Many employees sign a contract with their employer that governs the work performed, payment for that work, and even the specific duties the employer has to the employee. If your employer violates their contractual obligations, an employment attorney can offer deeper insight into your rights and next steps.
Levian Law represents employees and employers in employment and labor law matters. We represent individuals and entities in wage and hour, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful discharge, sexual harassment, and various other work-related matters. Legally, employees are protected against many behaviors from employers, including:
When you face those challenges at work in Los Angeles, an employment lawyer can prove essential in protecting your employment and guiding you through your next steps.
In some cases, you may not want to file a claim against your employer immediately, whether because you do not have adequate evidence of the actions taking place or you want to make sure you are giving your employer plenty of time to come to their own resolution.
Consulting with a Los Angeles employment attorney does not have to mean that you are immediately jumping into legal action. Rather, it provides you with the opportunity to seek sound legal counsel that can help you learn what actions are protected against and how your employer’s actions fall into those categories. Levian Law could help you effectively collect evidence against your employer, especially in cases where the cause of the actions can prove difficult to establish.
While your employer cannot legally retaliate against you for taking action due to their violation of the law, they may engage in unlawful behavior, including pushing you out of key opportunities and projects or making the workplace highly uncomfortable. A lawyer can help protect you against retaliation and offer insight into how to proceed if it occurs.
While most employment relationships in California are “at will” that does not give employers the right to terminate an employee for an illegal reason, i.e. anything that violates a statute or regulation or that is contrary to a contract that was entered into (whether written or implied). Whether you have questions about your employer’s conduct and are simply seeking legal advice or you are ready to pursue litigation against your employer, Levian Law is here to provide the support and guidance you need.
We represent employers and employees in wrongful termination actions. If you feel you have been wrongfully terminated, then call the attorneys at Levian Law for a free consultation.
