What Kind of Cases Does a Temecula Employment Lawyer Handle?

An employment lawyer handles a wide range of workplace-related issues. The following are a few of the common types of cases John Dalton handles.

• Sexual harassment. This type of harassment can include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, offensive remarks about a person’s sex, and other verbal, physical or visual harassment.
  
• Discrimination. It is illegal to discriminate based on race, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, and other protected classes.
  
• Whistleblower cases. Whistleblower laws protect employees who report illegal or unethical activities within their organization, and it is unlawful to retaliate against an employee for reporting such workplace violations.
  
• Wrongful termination. Most California employment is at-will, which means employers can fire workers at any time for any lawful or even no reason. But when an employer fires an employee in violation of the law, or for discriminatory or other unlawful reasons, it is considered a wrongful termination.
  
• Hostile work environment. A hostile work environment occurs when a supervisor, manager, or co-worker’s words or actions are so pervasive (common) or severe that it negatively impacts an employee’s ability to do their work.
  
• Wage and hour laws. These cases often involve unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, and improper wage deductions.
  
• Employment contracts. Whether an employee wants to negotiate an employment contract or believes their employer breached an employee contract, an employment lawyer can help clarify terms and advocate for their interests.
  
• Family and medical leave. Employment lawyers can help with disputes related to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or other leave-related issues.

Workplace complaints can also involve disability or age discrimination, workplace safety, and other issues. Whatever your hardship, when you hire us, you’ll get experienced guidance and help navigating the system. A Temecula employment attorney can ensure your rights are protected throughout the process and advocate for your best interests every step of the way.
