Employee Rights in California that Our Attorneys Can Protect
Among the long list of employee rights that our lawyers can help you protect are:
Minimum Wage
As of 2025, California’s general minimum wage (which applies to most workers in San Bernardino County) is $16.50 per hour. Employees in some industries, such as fast food and healthcare, have higher minimum wage requirements. If you receive less than minimum wage for your location or industry, a San Bernardino wage and hour lawyer can help you file an employment law claim.
Overtime Pay
Según el Departamento de Relaciones Industriales de California (DIR), most employees in California must receive 1.5 times their regular pay for working more than a standard work day (eight hours) or week (40 hours). They must also receive double their regular pay for working more than 12 hours in a day or more than 8 hours on a seventh consecutive working day.
Some employees are exempt from overtime pay rules. A San Bernardino labor law lawyer can explain your rights.
Rest and Meal Breaks
Según el DIR, most workers are entitled to an unpaid 30-minute meal break in the middle of their shift on any work day lasting more than five hours, or two meal breaks for a day lasting more than 12 hours. They should also receive a 10-minute paid rest break in every four-hour working period. Again, some exceptions may apply.
Sick Leave
Employees in California are generally entitled to at least 40 hours (or five days) of paid sick leave each year, according to el DIR. You can file a claim or lawsuit against your employer if you do not receive this sick leave or if you get punished for using it.
Family and Medical Leave
Según el Departamento de Derechos Civiles de California, most employees can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid maternity/paternity leave or time off to handle a serious medical condition for themselves or a family member without risk of losing their job.
Freedom From Harassment, Discrimination, Retaliation, and Wrongful Termination
If you don’t feel safe in your workplace because of discrimination or harassment, or if you’ve been demoted, terminated, or otherwise punished for exercising your legal rights, you may have a valid employment law claim.
If your employer violated any of these rights, we want to hear from you. Contact KJT Law Group today for a consulta inicial gratuita.
How Much Is Your Employment Law Case Worth?
The value of your employment law claim will depend on the unique financial and psychological harm you have experienced due to your work-related ordeal. Damages you may recover in a claim or lawsuit include:
- Lost salary, tips, bonuses, commissions, and benefits
