You won’t be passed off to case managers; you’ll work directly with an experienced employment lawyer who understands California labor laws and how to apply them to your situation.

How We Help with Employment Law Claims

Our firm guides employees through every stage of their case with a clear, strategic approach focused on results. We start by understanding your situation, explaining your rights under California law, and identifying whether your employer has violated those rights. From there, we investigate your claim, gather evidence, and build a strong case tailored to your goals, whether that means negotiating a settlement or taking your case to court.

We handle a wide range of employment law matters, including:

• Wage and hour violations (unpaid wages, overtime, missed breaks, misclassification)
• Wrongful termination
• Workplace discrimination
• Sexual harassment
• Retaliation claims
• Whistleblower cases
• Hostile work environments

No matter the complexity of your case, our team is prepared to advocate for you and pursue the compensation and accountability you deserve.

What Compensation Can You Recover in an Employment Law Case?

If your employer has violated your rights, you may be entitled to recover a wide range of damages under California and federal employment laws. At KJT Law Group, our Altadena employment law lawyers fight to recover the full value of your claim, which may include both financial losses and the personal impact the situation has had on your life.

Depending on your case, compensation may include:

• Unpaid wages and overtime you were denied
• Back pay for lost earnings due to wrongful termination or retaliation
• Front pay for future lost income if you cannot return to your job
• Lost benefits, such as health insurance, bonuses, or retirement contributions
• Emotional distress damages for anxiety, stress, or harm to your well-being
• Out-of-pocket expenses related to your case or job loss
• Attorney’s fees and legal costs
• Punitive damages in cases involving especially egregious employer misconduct

Every case is different. Our team will carefully evaluate your situation to identify all available damages and pursue the maximum compensation you are owed.

What to Do If You Have an Employment Law Claim

If you believe your employer has violated your rights, taking the right steps early can protect your claim. 

• Document everything: Start keeping detailed records of what happened. Write down dates, times, locations, and the names of anyone involved. Include specific incidents, conversations, and any actions taken by your employer. The more detailed your notes, the stronger your claim may be.
• Save communications and pay records: Keep copies of emails, text messages, performance reviews, schedules, pay stubs, and any other relevant documents. These records can serve as critical evidence, especially in cases involving unpaid wages, discrimination, or retaliation.
• Report internally (if appropriate): In some situations, reporting the issue to HR or a supervisor can create a record of the misconduct. However, this step is not always required, and in certain cases, it may not be advisable without legal guidance.
• Contact an employment attorney: An experienced employment lawyer can evaluate your situation, explain your rights, and guide you on the best path forward. We can help you build your case, protect you from retaliation, and pursue the compensation you deserve.
