San Jose Employee Rights Lawyer
Understanding Your Rights
The first and most common question we receive is: Do I have an employment law claim?
The answer is that if your employer violated a federal or state law, you can pursue an employment law complaint and may be able to obtain compensation for the violation. There are frustrating, infuriating or even questionably ethical actions that employers engage in; unless those actions violate public policy, such as one protected by a state or federal statute, you may not be able to pursue legal action.
Speaking with a qualified and informed lawyer about your situation is the key first step in protecting your employee rights. We can educate and advise you on how to proceed when you think you may have an employment law claim.
Understanding Your Case
While any valid employment law claim is built around an employer's violation of the law or a regulation, the numbers of different federal, state and local agencies that dictate how businesses must operate are plentiful. In California state courts, most of the employment law cases we handle are a result of violations of the California Fair Housing and Employment Act (FEHA).
Like many state laws, the rules mandated by FEHA are in conjunction with and in addition to federal laws that affect employment such as the Americans with Disabilities Act or Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
Our attorneys believe in empowering workers to protect their employee rights in claims such as racial discrimination or harassment by informing you about your case while representing your interests in court. State and federal laws are clear in the kinds of actions they prohibit for employers.
