What is Employment Law?
Employment law is the collection of laws and rules that regulate relationships between employers and employees. Employment laws say when an employer can hire employees and when the employees can work. The laws cover what an employer must pay the employee for their work. They create minimum requirements for working conditions for employees.
Employment Law Basics
Employment law features throughout the lifecycle of an individual’s employment. Therefore, this area of law can be applied to all manners of instances that occur in the working life of both an employee and employer, including:
Wrongful Termination. Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is terminated or forced to quit for an unlawful reason, such as in violation of anti-retaliation laws, in violation of anti-discrimination or harassment laws, or violation of an employment agreement.
Sexual Harassment. Sexual harassment can come in many forms, including unwanted sexual advances, sending sexual emails/text messages, or making sexual slurs, jokes, or comments, whether directed at or witnessed by an employee.
Employment Discrimination. California and federal law prohibit employers from discriminating based on disability, age, pregnancy, gender, race, and other protected characteristics including religion, sexual orientation, and marital status.
Wage & Hour Violations. Wage and hour claims include failure to pay for all hours worked failure to pay legally required wages and misclassification of employees as independent contractors or as exempt.
Whistleblower. Employers are prohibited from retaliating against an employee for reporting illegal conduct to a government agency or to the employer itself.
