Types of Employment Law Cases We Can Assist You With

Our Glendale employment law attorneys at KJT Law Group can help you with various employment-related issues, including: 

Wrongful Termination

While an employee can be fired from their job for many legitimate causes, employers generally cannot fire employees for the following reasons, according to the State of California Department of Industrial Relations

  • They took sick leave that they were entitled to.
  • They filed a workers’ compensation claim.
  • They reported a safety issue or workplace harassment.
  • They disclosed information about their salary or wages to others.
  • They must take breaks to pump breast milk for their child.
  • They refused to work more hours than the Industrial Welfare Commission requires.
  • They are a victim of domestic abuse, stalking, or sexual assault and took reasonable time off work to ensure their safety.
  • They took time off work for jury duty or to comply with a court order or subpoena.

Workers also cannot be fired based on sex, race, religion, political affiliation, gender identity, marital status, and other protected categories. If your employer terminated your employment for any of these or another unscrupulous reason, we want to hear from you.

Wage or Hour Disputes

Employees deserve to receive fair wages for the jobs they perform. You may have a viable wage and hour case against your employer if:

  • You receive less than minimum wage.
  • You are not allowed to take adequate breaks.
  • You are forced to work off the clock without pay.
  • You do not receive overtime pay for extra work.

Sexual Harassment

According to the State of California Department of Justice, workplace sexual harassment occurs when unwanted sexual advances or other sexual conduct (whether physical, visual, or verbal) creates an “intimidating, hostile, or offensive” work environment. Discrimination based on sex is also unacceptable in the workplace. 

If you are a victim of sexual harassment or discrimination, we can help you seek compensation for the pain you have endured. 

Damages You May Qualify for in an Employment Law Claim

Your employment law attorney can help you file a claim or lawsuit against your employer seeking economic and non-economic damages such as the following:

  • Lost wages and benefits, including backpay
  • Costs of searching for a new job
  • Attorney fees
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Punitive damages, in some extreme cases
  • Injunctive relief, such as getting your job back or getting a promotion you were denied due to discrimination
